Fernandez

From having his mind blown by Eric B. and Rakim’s “Paid In Full” in 1987 and playing with a tape deck and turntable in his bedroom in high school, to being the first DJ to join BELLOSOUND’s roster, Steven Fernandez’s musical history is extensive and filled with enough highlights to write a book. At the heart of it is an individual who has mastered playing any room, delivering sets that are “versatile, eclectic, and simple.” An avid vinyl collector with an encyclopedic knowledge, Fernandez also co-runs health and wellness company Pause+Expand, and makes ambient classical music under the name Kampala Social Club.
