Dakota Martinez is a music technologist and creative leader with nine years of experience designing content, tooling, and sonic products at Splice while continuing a parallel career as a producer and audio engineer. As Manager of Content Story & Merchandising, Dakota builds storytelling architectures and internal/external tooling that make sample content personal, measurable, and more discoverable. Their background in Music Technology and Computer Science at NYU, plus residencies at IRCAM and work with Cycling '74, inform a pragmatic blend of DSP, ML, and music information retrieval applied to real-world audio workflows. Dakota co-founded a music hardware startup and routinely ships world-class sample packs through the Moment label, bridging product, artist collaboration, and sound design. They bring a maker’s mindset—building automated audio processing and production tools that scale content operations—while still producing bespoke mixes, masters, and scores. Based in New York, Dakota’s work quietly sits at the intersection of research, code, and creative practice, turning experimental audio ideas into commercial products.
