Nymea (Manuel Casasola) is a composer and producer whose work blends alternative and electronic music with live instrumentation. Growing up immersed in rock, he learned multiple instruments from an early age before discovering electronic music, and today his sound often combines the two - organic performance meeting modern production.
Manuel Casasola/Nymea (he/him)
Manuel began playing drums at the age of eight, gradually adding guitar, piano, and bass to his skillset while performing in Hungary throughout his youth. After relocating to London at 24, he completed diplomas in Songwriting at BIMM University and a Master’s degree in Music Production at Nottingham Trent University. Since finishing his studies, he has worked with clients worldwide, helping elevate songs through thoughtful production and arrangement.
What draws him to production music is its subtlety. Rather than placing the music at the centre of attention, he enjoys shaping emotion in a supporting role, enhancing narrative, mood, and impact without overpowering the visual.
He first connected with MediaTracks during a week-long songwriting camp in Madrid, where one of the briefs came from the MediaTracks team. The collaboration quickly stood out, marking the beginning of an ongoing creative relationship.
Recent Work:
Manuel has released music with his band Rien du Sol and has collaborated with Grammy-nominated producer Ellis and songwriter Tom Fuller (Tom Walker, Tinlicker).
Dream Commission:
