Biography

[edit]

Jaime Altozano was born in 1993[2] in the Ciudad Lineal district of Madrid.[3] He studied piano at the Arturo Soria Professional Conservatory of Music in Madrid, completed two years at the Complutense University of Madrid with a double-major in Mathematics and Physics,[4] and studied music production at Escuela Creativa de Madrid.[5][6] He started his YouTube channel in May 2017 to provide free, digestable music education videos.[7] The increasing popularity of his videos on musical themes, such as his analysis of soundtracks[8] including The Lord of the Rings trilogy and informative videos about classical music using songs from Pokémon, Dragon Ball,[9] The Beatles and La Oreja de Van Gogh,[10] helped him reach 187,000 subscribers by the end of the year.[11] He doubled that figure five months later.[12]

He collaborated on the Radio Clásica program Música y significado, presented by Luis Ángel de Benito, on which he analyzed the soundtracks of The Lord of the Rings by Howard Shore in 2017[13][14] and Star Wars by John Williams in 2018.[15] He has also participated in musical segments on various radio programs including Hoy por Hoy on Cadena SER and He venido aquí a hablar de lo mío on Radio Nacional de España (RNE).[16]

In October 2017, Spanish music lecturer Ramon Gener Sala plagiarized portions of Altozano's analysis in two YouTube videos (De Pokémon a Bach. Una historia de VOCES and Los Miserables: la Mejor Fuga de BACH) during a radio segment entitled Un gesto lo puede cambiar todo (A gesture can change everything).[17] Gener later blamed a collaborator for the plagiarism and said he was not familiar with the work of Altozano.[18]

On December 29, 2017, Altozano live-tweeted a streaming broadcast of La bohème by Giacomo Puccini from Teatro Real in Madrid in an attempt to get more than 100,000 people to watch the stream.[19] In November 2018, he published a video on Rosalía's El mal querer that the singer herself reacted to on Instagram.[20][21][22] In 2019 he appeared on the TVE program, "La mejor canción jamas cantada" (The best song ever sung).[23] In February 2019 he made a collaboration video with the Colombian YouTuber Alvinsch, in which both competed to decide who was the best musician,[24] and made another with the YouTuber QuantumFracture in which they collaborated with the Polytechnic University of Madrid to scientifically answer why "Happy Birthday to You" is not playable on the drum.[25] In February 2020 he returned to Spanish television to speak to the contestants of Operación Triunfo 2020 about harmony and composition.[26]
