Ayrton Fernando

Ayrton Fernando came up in Rio de Janeiro, where he started playing guitar and piano early on. He was listening to Brazilian rhythms and American R&B, and those sounds worked their way into what he made. His first album was called 'Soul Serenade.'

He put out songs like 'It's Fun To Play' and 'Hurts Like Heaven.' Another track, 'A Silver Ring,' features Dev. The writing in his existing history mentions a song called 'Black Hair,' which it describes as an anthem, but that title doesn't appear in his listed top songs.

On stage, he's often backed by a group referred to as The Black Hair Ensemble. The players named are Lucas Silva on lead guitar, Carla Santos on bass, and Bruno Costa on drums.
