BIO

Ferran began his musical path at the age of six, remaining self-taught until entering the Conservatori Superior de Música del Liceu de Barcelona, where he was awarded two Scholarships for Musical Excellence. During his time there, he studied with a wide range of great faculty, including a three-year mentorship by Michael League (five-time Grammy Award–winning bassist, bandleader, and director of Snarky Puppy, Bokanté, and GroundUp Music).

Ferran toured throughout Europe with Roosevelt Collier, wrote and arranged for the conservatory’s Big Band, worked in the Barcelona scene and received the annual Extraordinary Prize from the Conservatori Superior de Música del Liceu de Barcelona (2018–2022 promotion). He moved to the United States in his early twenties to pursue a degree in Jazz Bass Performance, Theory of Jazz in the Popular Song and Music Production and Engineering at Berklee College of Music, supported by full-ride scholarships (including a key support from the LGCF’s with the Sofia Carson Gifted Tuition Scholarship).

At Berklee he learned from Matt Stevens, John Patitucci, Linda May Oh Han, Alain Mallet, Gary Willis, Kenny Werner, Tia Fuller, Oscar Stagnaro, Steve Bailey, Walter Smith III, Victor Wooten, Lincoln Goines…Among others.

Graduating from Berklee in 2025, Ferran is now a professional musician in the New York City scene, and is available for work for hire as a bassist — on 4, 5, or 6-string electric bass, synth bass, fretless, or upright — as well as for arranging across a wide palette of genres, producing, and songwriting.

Ferran’s original music lives in two distinct branches: his e-jazz trio KIW, with the albums Cosmosis and It’s Not About Me; and his solo project under his name, with the albums Once Bitten and Face West to Go Round.
