Making Music, Saving Lives! Grundman (Jorge Grundman) is a New Age and classical composer born in 1961 in Madrid, Spain. After composing initial pieces for a school contest at age 14, he later studied at the Royal Advanced Conservatory of Music in Madrid. By age 17, he had become a key member of power pop groups ETC and Fahrenheit 451, as both a singer and a keyboardist. Grundman subsequently recorded with Fahrenheit 451 for independent labels, and collaborated with other bands like Pistones and Episodio. In 1980, he joined Fahrenheit 451?s drummer Oscar Bergón and renowned film composer Mario de Benito to form the first power pop group called Trópico de Cáncer; they recorded the notable album "Detrás del Espejo" for Virgin Records in Spain. Distancing himself from the pop music industry, he began his University teaching career in 1985 and started to privately compose music at home. While continuing to teach, he composed the celebrated "Los Hijos del Frío" ("The Sons of the Cold") which is acclaimed as one of the most famous electronic tunes of MP3.com, where it was published in January 2001. It was #1 in the New Age charts 27 times, remaining in the Top 40 for six months alongside other leading New Age artists like Enya and Suzanne Ciani. Grundman founded Non Profit Music to facilitate donating proceeds from his music sales to Doctors Without Borders. In June 2004, the U.S. version of his first solo album, "We Are the Forthcoming Past, Take Care of It," is being released through Los Angeles-based Only New Age Music.
