The alternative pop artist platinumcore is a guitarist, singer, and songwriter from Central Florida. Originally a native of New Jersey, platinumcore began playing the guitar at four, learning from their father, a professional jazz guitarist. Platinumcore moved to Florida in 2010 at 14 and became influenced by guitarists such as Joe Bonamassa, Slash, Gary Moore, and Eric Johnson. Platinumcore began playing in the local scene in Central Florida, with their father playing a combination of jazz, Latin, blues, and fusion. 

At 18, platinumcore attended Warner University for their undergrad studies and became involved in the performing arts. They then played guitar for the university's chapel band and jazz ensemble. In 2018, platinumcore began delving into the jazz scene within South Florida by studying the genre.  Platinumcore strived to hone their guitar, singing, and songwriting skills over the next four years when they released his first single, “wilted roses,” in 2022. 

In their brand of dark pop, they displayed their vulnerability and a genre-defying sound through song such as “still searching.” Munoz within that year experimented with hyperpop such as the songs “the backrooms” and “cookies & cream” mixing experimental guitar soloing to glitched synth and heavy hitting bass. Platinumcore displayed their raw emotions with the Mayer-isms of “dear late bloomers.” 2024 was the year that platinumcore describes as his year by starting strong with the single “chasing the horizon” which marked the start of his eclectic direction by blending genres of hip-hop, ambient, metalcore, and hyperpop. Platinumcore then started to produce what was to become their first album “surviving the 27 club” which was released on their birthday. The album reflected on their journey through the past few years amidst their mental health struggles and their radical acceptance of their identity.

2025 is the objective to their final phase of metamorphosis as they are entering the event horizon.
