About Fernando
Fernando started his career as a session guitar player after playing in Miami Bands, Avenging Lawnmowers of Justice, Sixo, and Trophy Wife. In 1999, his guitar playing was featured in a nationwide ad campaign for Pier One Imports. In 2002, at the age of 22 he recorded most of the guitars for Cristian Castro‘s Amar Es. He toured with Castro throughout Latin America. Perdomo played lead guitar and piano for Soraya on her final tour.
