Juan Elias
Co-founder, Auribus
Juan Elias is a composer turned creative technologist whose career bridges music, sound design, and artificial intelligence. He began by crafting original scores and sonic identities for media before transitioning into roles that deepened his understanding of how technology and creativity intersect.
For nearly a decade, Juan worked at Pandora and SiriusXM, first as a composer for branded content, then as a producer managing sync deals and curating music libraries for major advertisers, gaining a front-row seat to the business side of music licensing at scale.
In 2023, fueled by the Hollywood strikes and growing tensions around AI’s impact on creators, Juan co-founded Voice by Auribus, a platform where artists license their voices to power next-gen music creation. Backed by Techstars and trusted by world-class producers, Auribus is both a response to the broken economics of voice ownership and a bet on the future of creative control in the age of AI
