Fernando Milagros

Who is Fernando Milagros?

Fernando Milagros is a Chilean pop rock singer-songwriter and a part of the independent music scene in Santiago. He was born Fernando Briones and got his stage name from his three years as the singer and bass player in the band Maria Milagros. He has divided his time between music and a successful career in theater design.

In 2006, Milagros made his first solo album, Vacaciones en el Patio de mi Casa, which was released in 2007. As the name suggests, he recorded the album in his own backyard with just a guitar and some household implements. He followed this up with performances throughout 2008 in bars around Santiago, and opened for the Anglo-French singer Jane Birkin, also in 2008

Milagros released his second album, Por Su Atención Gracias, in 2009. Following the example of other Chilean singer-songwriters like Leo Quinteros and Manuel García, Milagros enlisted the help of a support band, The Falsos, on the album, who are credited next to Milagros on the album cover.

In 2010, Milagros caught the attention of the well-known French independent filmmaker Vincent Moon, who included him in the Take Away Shows series on his famous site La Blogothèque.
