Artists

FERNI is an indie musician from the Lone Star state who has been making waves in the Texas music scene for years. From his early days as a creative pre-teen, scribbling lyrics on notebook paper and recording melodies on an old cassette recorder, to his current status as a seasoned performer, Ferni has honed his craft on numerous stages. His music is a captivating blend of rock, new wave, blues and Americana influences, brought to life by insightful and introspective lyrics that tug at the heartstrings.  He is the founding member of past groups BROTHER SOL and OF LOVE AND JUSTICE. 

While he actively releases music as a solo artist, Ferni's main musical focus is being vocalist/guitarist for the new Houston rock band WE ARE STORIES. Joined by his fellow bandmates, Craig Brumfield on drums, Jeff Barnum on bass and Brandon Hatcher on lead guitar, We Are Stories is a rock band driven by an unwavering love for music, blending diverse backgrounds to create original music with a unique sound.
