Calinado weaves experimental electronic soundscapes infused with a touch of the West Coast’s tropical vibes, conjuring an immersive experience that blurs the lines between reality and imagination.

Born on Whidbey Island, WA and raised as a Navy Brat, Calinado’s early life was defined by a nomadic rhythm, moving every 2-3 years. While finding a semblance of stability with family in St. Louis, MO, it was the sun-soaked shores of Coronado, California that truly resonated with him. This sentiment birthed the moniker “Calinado,” merging ‘Cali’ from California and ‘Nado’ from Coronado, embodying his profound connection to these places.

Calinado’s creative inclination surfaced early, as he delved into graphic design at just 12 years old. His artistic flair caught the attention of livestreamers, content creators, and companies, offering a glimpse of his potential. Yet, a yearning for a more fulfilling medium led him to explore the realm of music.

The rich tapestry of musical influences spanning from Black Eyed Peas to Green Day, and from Deadmau5 to MISOGI, beckoned Calinado towards music creation. Self-taught and unafraid to experiment, he seamlessly merged music and visuals into a unique amalgamation, delivering a sensory-rich encounter.

Transitioning from graphic design to music marked a natural progression for Calinado, influenced by a continuously evolving array of inspirations. His compositions invite listeners to traverse his meticulously constructed auditory landscapes, where music, visuals, and emotions intertwine.

As Calinado’s journey through the realm of electronic music unfolds, his compositions tell the story of his growth and exploration. His commitment to pushing artistic limits and constructing immersive experiences promises a lasting impact on the ever-changing canvas of electronic sound.
