Hailing from São Paulo, Brazil, Fernando Triff is a driven, passionate and charismatic artist with a unique approach to his blend of alternative rock.

His debut single “Blessing like Swagger” was released on 7/29/14 and debuted at number #61 on the international iTunes chart. In a recent exclusive interview Fernando gave us some insight into how he does what he does.

I intend to release an animation, I will shoot videos in Los Angeles and New York with the same director who worked with 50 Cents and A$ap Rocky. I am thinking of working with the guys who made Tom Hanks`s video for Carly Rae Jepsen too.
