Artist Spotlight: Panacea Project

Taking it back to basics. That is how Panacea Project describes their music.

“With everyone producing digital music and enhancing their sound electronically, we want to stand out from the crowd,” said lead singer Luis Castro in an interview with Showpitch Insider. “We want to sound in person like we do on a recording. We want to be authentic.”

Castro, 28, and Carlos Bermon, 29, met a few years ago while they were each independently trying to pave their way through New York’s music scene. The two decided to start collaborating, instantly clicked and Panacea Project was born. 

The name “Panacea Project” was derived from Greek mythology. 

“Panacea is the Greek Goddess of Universal Remedy; the cure for everything. We believe music cures all,” Bermon says. 

In the beginning of their career, the duo covered popular Latin songs and posted videos to YouTube. They quickly gained a following, and started performing live in October 2013. 

“We were nervous. We wanted to bring to life what people saw on YouTube,” Castro said.

And they did. Their following grew even more and they expanded their music reach outside of New York traveling to Miami to regularly perform.

“It’s the mecca for Latin music,” Castro said. “We’ve played for and with some really great people.” 

Sergio George, known for working with some of Latin music's most popular artists including Marc Anthony, Jennifer Lopez, Tito Puente and Celia Cruz, reached out to Panacea Project after seeing their covers on their YouTube Channel. He asked them to produce the acoustic version of Prince Royce's hit single, "Las Cosas Pequeñas." The acoustic version was included in Royce's sophomore album Phase II. 

“It’s amazing all the doors covering songs has opened up for us,” Bermon said. 

Recently, the duo just finished collaborating with Tatiana K, pop singer-songwriter from South Florida, on a new song called “Vuelvo a Caer.”They plan to start filming the music video at the end of January. 

Also, through Showpitch, Panacea Project has recently signed to The Collective and signed a deal with Disrupt Digital Entertainment and Happy Owl Media to start filming a webseries to be featured on a major media company, whose name we cannot disclose at this time. We'll have more about these deals in the coming months. 

The duo is on the rise right now, and fast. Stay on the look out for what’s to come from these two.
