Miguel Cervantes on SoundBetter

Authentic mariachi and Latin session musician with 15+ years of performing, recording, and producing experience — ready to bring world-class energy and precision to your project.

I’m Miguel Cervantes, a professional mariachi musician and recording artist who plays violin, trumpet, guitarrón, vihuela, and guitar. I’ve performed at world-class events like Lollapalooza and venues including Millennium Park, bringing authentic mariachi music to the big stage.

I’ve collaborated with trained musicians and recorded projects that blend tradition with modern sounds. I also hold a Master’s degree in Music from Texas State University, giving me both the academic foundation and live performance expertise to deliver professional results.

Whether you need expressive violins, soaring trumpets, deep guitarrón bass, or full mariachi arrangements, I provide studio-quality stems using a Neumann TLM-103, Shure SM7B, Avalon preamp, and Focusrite interface for a polished, mix-ready sound.

My specialty is layering complete arrangements (1st & 2nd violin, 1st & 2nd trumpet, full rhythm sections) so your track feels like a true mariachi ensemble. I also arrange and offer guidance for artists fusing mariachi with pop, oldies, or contemporary genres.

Clients hire me for my versatility, reliability, creativity, and polished sound. If you want authentic mariachi flavor with professional studio precision, I’ll make your project stand out.
