Marc Moncasi Gaya

Marc Moncasi Gaya

Audiovisual Systems Engineer

After 10 years working as an IT professional, I began my career as a DJ and Producer under the Marc Monka project. I studied electronic music production at the EUMES school (Girona) and since 2013 I have been developing my DJ and Music Production project in Barcelona.

Since 2019, I have been designing courses and teaching classes, both individually and to groups. My ambition for music, experience, and engineering background have enabled me to guide students of all ages as well as professionals with varying levels of knowledge and experience. Currently, I also teach DJing and Music Production classes and courses at the Escola de Música Municipal de Alcover and offer educational and recreational workshops on demand.
