Fernando Diez

Currently based in Los Angeles, Fernando Diez was raised in France in a Spanish family, and he became heavily influenced by the Latin music of his Spanish parentage and by the African and Middle Eastern music scenes in Paris. On top of heavily studying traditional World percussion, he also studied Jazz, Rock, RnB, and Pop styles, and has trained, performed, and recorded all over Europe, Africa, Cuba, and the U.S. Constantly in demand for his dramatic drumming style, Fernando recently toured with Cirque du Soleil's Alegria and Kooza shows.
