Born and raised in Portugal, Fernando was a Philosophy student when he absolutely fell for Heavy Metal, in its most Underground form. That attraction lead to the foundation of Moonspell, and his life took an unexpected turn forever. He’s always been the singer and the lyricist behind Moonspell but he’s also involved in writing, editing, having already released poetry books and several other pieces. He also has his own record and book label ALMA MATER BOOKS AND RECORDS, lives in the centre of Portugal with his wife Sonia Tavares (The Gift singer) and his son Fausto.
