FERNIE (he/they) was born in Brazil but grew up in Montreal, adopted into a home that spoke English, Portuguese, French and German. The singer-songwriter dazzles with his raw lyrics, soul-stirring melodies, and cinematic R&B, all of which is propelled by his impressive vocal skills.

His debut EP Aurora earned praise everywhere; “his Brazilian Canadian ethnicity shines through in his vulnerable lyrics and powerful melodies,” wrote Rolling Stone (France). He was also selected for a Chambre Noire session on Radio Nova, a SessionLab on RFI, and more. Urbania describes Fernie as “a Montrealer with a soft, suave voice singing modern soul songs.” La Presse, Le Devoir, Salut Bonjour, and KCRW (USA) have all raved about the artist.

In the past year, Fernie has toured across Quebec and worldwide, performing at several festivals: Osheaga, the Festival international de Jazz de Montréal, as well as in Brazil (SIM São Paulo), France (Bars en Bars, MaMA festival), and the United Kingdom (The Great Escape).

Their latest EP offering, HOPELESS DREAMS will be released February 14th, and they will be performing at the Grand Théatre in Quebec City on Friday, Feb. 21st and in Toronto on Feb. 24th at the Adelaide Hall. You can find the Artist on Instagram at @fernieofficial
