José Martín Cuevas Cobos (born September 28, 1969), known by his stage name Pedro Fernández, is a Mexican singer, songwriter, actor, and television host.
Fernández has recorded thirty-nine albums, acted in seven soap operas, and twenty five films. He has won 4 Latin Grammy Awards.
Early life[edit]
Fernández was a restless, almost hyperactive child who directed part of his energy, from as early as age three, to interpreting some of the ranchera and mariachi songs he heard on the radio. Fernández adopted a stage name that reflected his love affair with ranchera music and two of its icons: Pedro Infante and Vicente Fernández.
He has had a long successful singing and acting career beginning at age 7 with his first recording which would skyrocket with the song "La de la Mochila Azul" (The blue backpack). His first album, La de la Mochila Azul, named for the single, was released in 1978 which led to his starring role in the film "La niña de la mochila azul" (The Girl with the Blue Backpack) released in 1979. His instant success won him additional recording and film contracts and consolidated his image as a child prodigy.[1]
Career[edit]
In 2010 for his protagonist role of "Rafael Medina Nuñez" in Televisa's award-winning telenovela Hasta Que El Dinero Nos Separe, Pedro Fernández won the Premios TVyNovelas Award for Best Lead Actor of 2010, see TVyNovelas Award for Best Lead Actor.
A recent 2016 news article commented; "To hear the name Pedro Fernández (or as he is still called by many, Pedrito), everyone remembers that child who sang La de la Mochila Azul, which became the theme song for the film La niña de la mochila azul in 1979". Since that time he became one of the most recognized artists not only in Mexico but throughout Latin America for his music and acting which continues today.[2]
For his television roles, most recently Pedro has appeared as a team coach for La Voz Kids season three (2015) and season four (2016),[3] and as an official Presenter/Host for the Billboard Latin Music Awards for 2015 and 2016.[4]
In September 2016 Pedro collaborated with Grupo Cañaveral for their upcoming 20 year anniversary album. Grupo Cañaveral, led by Humberto and Emir Pabón and accompanied by Pedro Fernández recorded the song "Si Te Vas", authored by Pedro. This latest version of the popular song now has a Cumbia flavor. Full story and performance link in referenced article.[5]
In October 2016 Pedro appeared on stage in his hometown of Monterrey Mexico with popular recording artist Thalía in front of an audience of 7 thousand YouTube at the Auditorio Citibanamex. "Thalía was a hit in Monterrey with her Latina Love Tour and gave her fans a surprise duet with singer Pedro Fernández.[6]Thalía invited Pedro to share the stage with her and together they performed 'De Ti' which excited the audience and made them rise up from their seats."[7]
Pedro continues touring and performing concerts with his Mariachi and is currently working on his next album.
