Fernando Ortega is a contemporary Christian artist noted for his interpretations of many traditional hymns and songs, such as “Give Me Jesus” and “Be Thou My Vision”, and for writing clear, easily understood songs, such as “This Good Day”. Ortega was born and raised near the banks of the Rio Grande. He started learning piano at eight years of age and pursued classical training at The University of New Mexico. His sound embraces country, classical, Celtic, Latin American, world, modern folk and rustic hymnody.
Fernando Ortega takes time to listen to the people around him, to himself and to God. It has often been said that his music appeals to an astounding cross section of music fans. Among them are young kids, college students, professionals, young parents and grandmothers. His records are frequently found in the collections of both pop/rock lovers and classical purists. “I’m glad that we’ve been able to do things that somehow speak to people,” says Ortega. “I’ve been afforded the opportunity to follow my heart rather than chase the latest trend, and I’m very grateful for that. Every time I walk out on stage or have the opportunity to play for people, I am reminded all over again how much I really love what I do. I don’t know that I could ever get tired of it.”
