Fernanda Hernández

Fernanda Hernández was born in Aguascalientes, México, and has called Puerto Vallarta home for more than two decades. A self-taught vocalist, entertainer, producer, and former dancer, her artistic journey began almost as soon as she could walk. Deeply influenced by classical music from early childhood — especially composers like Tchaikovsky and Prokofiev — she originally dreamed of becoming a ballet dancer, even earning a scholarship to study at the School of Fine Arts as a child. Over time, however, music became her true calling.

Before dedicating herself fully to singing, Fernanda spent years performing as a professional dancer and entertainer in large-scale hotel productions including Chicago, Moulin Rouge, Latin and Mexican revues, and Cirque du Soleil–inspired shows. In her twenties, while balancing office work and single motherhood, she began building a career as a singer in Puerto Vallarta’s music scene, eventually taking a leap of faith to pursue music full time.

Her musical influences range from Christina Aguilera, Ella Fitzgerald, Björk, Janis Joplin, and Kimbra to jazz standards, Brazilian music, chanson française, opera, soul, rancheras, salsa, rock, and bossa nova. She later founded Moelle, a genre-blending musical project rooted in the idea of music emerging “from the soul.”

Today, Fernanda performs throughout Puerto Vallarta as a soloist, duo artist alongside her husband and guitarist Carlos Calderón, and with Moelle in various formats. A wife and mother of two, she continues to create, teach, produce, and dream — always striving to offer audiences something heartfelt, unexpected, and soul-refreshing.
