MNTR: instagram Mentor López (mntr) (born November 16, 2001) is a music producer who’s redefining the alternative sound in Mexico. Drawing on influences from Disclosure and Flume to Travis Scott and Frank Ocean, his approach aims to break boundaries and connect with new audiences. Despite not coming from a musical background, his curiosity and determination led him to discover music production early on. At 14, he began teaching himself Ableton, learning through forums, tutorials, and online communities. His discipline—shaped by his childhood in sports—helped him develop a signature style that prioritizes emotion over technical perfection. Now 23, he collaborates with Adrian Be and Zenei while leading production for Perdón Amor, a group that’s gained notoriety in just one year. Through projects like Perdón Amor, Ximena Soto, and Lulú, mntr has opened up fresh perspectives in a scene where listening habits can be tough to change.
