Carlos Serrano stands at the forefront of contemporary music, seamlessly blending his roles as a film composer, concert music creator, conductor, and virtuoso flutist. Renowned for his film scores, symphonic works, and diverse chamber music compositions, Carlos has collaborated with leading ensembles such as the Chatham Baroque Trio, Hub New Music, Mirari Brass Quintet, Invoke String Quartet, and the Budapest Symphony Orchestra.

Recent highlights in Carlos' career include his original score for the critically acclaimed film "Late for Work," which is currently sweeping through global film festivals, garnering numerous awards for Best Original Score. This success is paralleled by his ventures in album releases; in December 2023, he released an EP featuring chamber music performed by Hub New Music and Chatham Baroque, with another exciting album scheduled for release in June, showcasing performances by the Mirari Brass Quintet and Invoke String Quartet. Additionally, under his electronic music persona SailSki, Carlos released an EP integrated into the film "Late for Work" and is preparing for a full album release for this Summer.

Carlos' musical journey is as compelling as his compositions. Following a severe traumatic brain injury from a car accident, he redirected his career path from financial market technology to pursue music full-time, a testament to his resilience and passion for the art. His academic accolades include a Bachelor's in Music Composition from Northern Vermont University and a Master of Fine Arts in Music Composition from Vermont College of Fine Arts, further enriched by a Master of Music in Film Scoring at the esteemed Berklee College of Music.

Raised in Puerto Rico, where he developed his foundational skills at the San Juan's Escuela Libre de Música, Carlos has not only reclaimed his life through music but has also continued to innovate and inspire across the musical spectrum, from avant-garde techniques to popular electronic compositions.

When he is not composing or performing, Carlos enjoys skiing the slopes of Stowe Ski Resort in Vermont, where he finds inspiration in the serene landscapes. His music studio is located literally at the base of Mount Mansfield, the tallest peak in Vermont.
