Berni is a young drummer and passionate about music, born on the 25th of March 2011 in Murcia, Spain. He started playing drums as soon as he could hold a pair of chopsticks in his small hands and was enthusiastic about listening to any kind of music.
When he was two years old, his parents gave him his first drum set, although he was already playing on his father’s drum set. When he was 3 years old, he started to receive music theory and percussion lessons, and nowadays he continues his lessons with private teachers and home study of different styles, focusing on classic rock, modern, progressive etc, although he has a wide versatility playing also pop, jazz and fusion.
Every year since he was 5 years old he has performed at his school’s musical events, standing out for his good performance, energy and ability to move the audience. Whenever there has been a stage where he has been invited to go up he has not hesitated for a second and has given everything on stage.
In 2019 he opened his Instagram profile, where he has been able to connect with a large number of professional drummers, such as Chris Coleman, Michael Shack, Siberian Steppe, etc. In 2023 he started a new project with his new band Reload, with a style that mixes rock, punk and pop. In 2024 they won a regional talent contest and now they are the winners of the Musica Aula contest, a national contest for high school bands and musicians. Their goal is to become one of the world’s leading drummers of their generation and of course to enjoy drumming to the fullest.
