About me

Bogotá, Colombia

Juan Andrés Ospina is one of the most active and prominent exponents of a very outstanding generation of Colombian musicians. His wide range of musical projects make him hard to define: he might as well be singing/songwriting, producing and arranging, conducting and composing for big band, touring as a sideman pianist, composing for film, teaching vocal improv, or creating comedy content for the internet.
