Pau Castro is a Mexican-Catalan singer, songwriter, and musician based in Los Angeles. His music brings together the sounds he grew up around and the music he has discovered along the way, moving between bolero, Latin folk, rock, cumbia, psychedelia, post-punk, and electronic music.
As a solo artist, Pau focuses on songwriting and voice, often starting with simple acoustic arrangements and expanding into more experimental and electronic territory. His songs are personal, drawing from love, loss, family, identity, spirituality, and his experiences between Mexico, Spain, and Los Angeles.
Outside of his solo work, Pau fronts Mimo Calavera, a Los Angeles band blending Latin rock, bolero, cumbia, psychedelia, reggae, and oldies into a more energetic live sound. Mimo Calavera is the louder and more communal side of his music—built around a full band, dancing, live performance, and the mix of Latin and alternative music that has shaped him.
He is also part of Sonica Futura, an electronic project with Ali that explores a darker side of his influences through darkwave, EBM, post-punk, synths, and electronic experimentation.
Although each project has its own sound and identity, they all come from the same place: a love for songwriting, performance, experimentation, and bringing together different parts of Pau’s musical and cultural background.
