Fernando Triff

Exposed Vocals: So tell us your story. Where did you grow up? What made you decide to become an artist?

Triff: I have grown up in Brazil,  since very young I was supported by my family that bought  me a lot vinyls and books, but I only decide to become an artist at the age of 13 inspired by bands like Nirvana.

Exposed Vocals: How did you come up with that name? What was your inspiration behind it?

I picked this name many years ago I can tell  with each passing day is making more sense.

Exposed Vocals: Since everyone was a start-up once, can you give any smaller or local bands or artists looking to get gigs and airplay some tips?
