Musician, Multi-instrumentalist and Songwriter Fernando Sánchez was born in 1987 - Chuquicamata, Chile. At the age of 6 his father started teaching him some melodies and chords on the piano, which he would start seriously learning at a Conservatorium. In his early teens, the music of The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix,  among others, called Fernando’s attention. His grandmother came up with the idea of learning how to play the guitar, so his father gave him his first guitar at the age of 12. Being part of several bands at school as a drummer, keyboard player and guitarist he also took part in the main school’s Orchestra.



​

    Then he became even more excited with the idea of studying music professionally. Once he finished school in 2005, he started studying ‘Music Performance’ at the ‘Modern School of Music’ in Santiago de Chile, where he was trained to play any style that is required: Rock, Pop, Pop/Rock, Funk, Motown, Blues, Jazz, Latin, Bolero, Chacha, Big Band, Rhumba, etc. He was trained to read charts (first sight-reading) as well.
