Alejandro Fernandez

Official Biographical statement courtesy www.sonyclassical.com/artists/fernandez/bio.html I am the son of a singer, Vicente Fernández. I grew up absorbing the purest Mexican music: rancheras and boleras.As a young boy mi pappi would bring me onto the stage for duets, an arrangement that was duplicated many years later for our first recording together, Amor de los dos (The Love of Both of Us).Mi pappi knew that education is important, I love designing things and entered college. Soon after, in 1991, I took time 'away' away from this career as an architect and made my solo debut with Alejandro Fernández.I have worked in classic Mexican style with a mariachi band, pushing the stylistic envelope with innovative and unusual arrangements. Little by little I have worked my way back to this roots.I started to dig deep into the traditional sounds. These sounds have become ever more popular as Mexican and Latin music has come into its own on the world stage.Born in Mexico City, where mi pappi pursued a recording career, I have always felt I belonged in the provinces. My HOME IS Guadalajara, the real ranch life where rancheras, Mexican country music, are not just songs but a way of life. In the folk spirit of this music, I sing by ear and directly to the heart.I was always very romantic and still am today. My intentions are to go out into the world and represent my Mexico and Latin America. Our music.I am proud of my pappi and of being one of his Tres Potillos.
