Coming from a musical background, Bartolomé grew up playing violin, performing both as a soloist and with his local string orchestra. He later studied music composition at the University of Hertfordshire, where he began developing his path as a composer for film, television, and games. He resides in the United Kingdom.
Since then, he has worked across independent short films and international productions, and award-winning animations, including Smorgasbord (2025), which won at the Royal Television Society (RTS). In 2026, Bartolomé is scoring Olaya, a Peruvian feature film based on the life of José Olaya, scheduled for theatrical release in 2026.
