Jerome is a music producer and composer with a background in software engineering who thrives at the intersection of logic and creativity. He draws influence from a diverse range of genres—including pop, rock, blues, jazz, soul, hip-hop, lo-fi, chiptune, and EDM—and frequently blends these styles within his original compositions.

His musical journey began at age 12. He learned guitar and drums throughout elementary and high school while performing in various bands. He remained active in Manila’s band scene during his university years before pivoting toward electronic music and production.

After graduating in 2016, Jerome began producing more seriously under the moniker “Synthetic Arcade” while working in human resources. In 2019, he released his debut EP, Tales; that same year, he transitioned into tech, working as a software engineer from 2019 to 2025. Having spent several years in the corporate tech world, he is now focused on music production and freelance creative work. While still available for select tech projects, his priority is now on music.
