Born in Cartagena, Spain, Fernando is primarily a songwriter, with well over 100 composed songs in several styles including jazz, classic, bossa-nova, lounge, symphonic, disco, pop, latin, electronic, rock, blues and much more. Although his main influence is Jazz, his music exudes all his genetic Mediterranean influences.
As Bandsman, Fernando has performed at a great many Jazz gigs in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and Ibiza, highlighting with his participation in the “2000 Injuve International Jazz Festival” in Ibiza, with No Tan Big Band.
Several of his songs have more recently been selected for licensing contracts by vision producers in the USA, Canada and Australia for TV & Film purposes.
His song “Botafoch” was winner awarded by the August 2007 “Song of the Year” International Songwriting Contest in Houston, TX, USA, in the instrumental/jazz/world category and reached the semi-finalist status in the 2006 “International Songwriting Competition” in Nashville USA, in the instrumental category.

QUOTES:
“Autumn..s Prelude CD contains true chill-jazz jewels with bossa influences” (Future Music Magazine. February 2008 spanish issue.)
“As with any great composer and the demands placed on them, Fernando has been able to adapt freely to just about any style or genre. Much of his work is indeed merely classified as music for films.
His current Bandsman CD "AUTUMN'S PRELUDE" has a great many mood and emotions that emulate from each track. It is certainly music that will be heard and enjoyed by all age group. And music worthy of gracing the soundtrack credits in any motion picture”. (An..R Artist, Repertoire and International Licensing Magazine. Issue 28. December 2007. Australian Music Marketing Abroad.)

Yo Bandsmanasaurus. I just found out that we're related...and as a special family only present we've made a new song for you called "End of Days" (start doing backflips now). It's an epic instrumental opus to the moment when our ancient Dino relatives saw a large fiery object plummeting towards them. Please come to our page, give it a listen and let us know if it makes you feel like something catastrophic is gonna happen. If the song upsets you too much we will be holding several s support groups (read: comcerts) in the near future. Check our page for locations, dates and times.

Silenciosa y majestuosa avanza . Yo sé que me viene a buscar a mí y tiemblo. Silenciosa y majestuosa sonríe. Yo sé que me viene a buscar a mí y tiemblo. Silenciosa y majestuosa me señala. Yo sé que me viene a buscar a mí y tiemblo. Silenciosos y majestuosos nos alejamos. Miro hacia atrás y veo que mi cuerpo ya no tiembla.
Deliris-Delirios es una pagina para promocionar el libro que pretendo publicar a finales de este año "El Gran Cultivador" y simplemente queria saber la sincera opinión de la gente que se aventure en mi espacio.
Atentamente, Jordi!
Por cierto, busco editor. Mi idea, si no lo localizo, es editar con Amazon.
Nos vemos por aqui o por MiLiteraturas!. Inicio nueva andadura con "Retazos de angustia".Mi segundo libro esta compuesto por microcuentos que hablan de los miedos intrínsecos al ser humano y que rozan la esquizofrenia surrealista. La parte surrealista la ponen los textos, la parte esquizofrénica la aporto yo entra en mi bloc : delirios democraticos...si te atreves
hey! we are trying to change something... our new singer erik can't be a full member of dreamscape because the stess to travel a lot is affecting his health. so we decided to work with more than one singer - honestly we will work with even more than two... hopefully you will like that idea! we like it a lot because we will be very flexible and our sound will become even more complex! kind regards! DREAMSCAPE (progressive metal from germany) (new cd november 2009! - buy or let die!)
PS: always believe in your dreams! and don't get frightened if they are becoming real! - because for a believer they will!
What’s Crackin’ Bandsman ? We’re hitting back our myspace folks to let you know that your prayers have been answered. What prayers, you may ask. Well, today my friends, the good reptiles over at Bossasaurus (namely the ones writing this message) have teamed up with Murs (Living Legends, Def Jux, 9th Wonder, etc.) to, for the first time ever, offer you a taste of our music with an emcee over them. If you hate emcees and were feeling the tranquility of our un-defiled instrumental works than we sincerely apologize for our critical error in judgment. Otherwise come on over and check out our Murs feat. James Blunt 'Everything' remix.
