Fernandisco: "I'm crazy. I sing my mea culpa: 'I'm crazy'"

• Album Andoni Ferreño, Agustín Bravo, Fernandisco... What happened to the most famous presenters of the 90s?

• Music What happened to these singers who killed you 25 years ago, whose hits you have sung and of whom nothing has been heard since

Last Saturday,

(63) became the new

of the Dance stage of Love The 90s.

A 90s music festival, in which celebs such as

participated , Corona -the person in charge of

Night- and

, the Brazilian behind Samba de Janeiro.

An event where the public seemed to be more excited with the national stars than with the foreign ones, including the Catalan DJ himself, who was

of the night.

An emotional situation or, as the legendary announcer would describe it, a true "miracle".

"What we experienced at IFEMA was crazy.

to have people dancing there who greet you, who have a soundtrack that you helped them create. It seems to me that

Because its only purpose is to make you dance and get your heart pumping. That's why it evokes so many memories. There's pure emotional intelligence here and when you see people listen to these songs, you feel

faces light up. That, to me, makes

he told LOC.

You talk about emotional intelligence and, as far as I know, you have become a music coach.

What is this job about? I am talking about the leadership that the greats have taught me.

As I have had the opportunity to interview many international stars, such as Bruce Springsteen, Freddie Mercury, Elton John, Phil Collins, George Michael, ABBA, Prince, Madonna, Paul McCartney and the Rolling Stones, I can relate what they have told me and transmit their knowledge in presentations... And people freak out!

And it is that these artists are, in reality, great leaders.

Like CEOs of a company.

They have an attitude that surpasses all the senses.

They are not normal, they are brown beasts from the high mountains with a lot to teach. And I imagine that you, as a psychology graduate, use your knowledge to complement those experiences. It's true.

I think I offer it as a 360 experience. Because, when you have studied Freud deeply, you end up understanding that all of this can be applied to any field of work.

Also, I feel that psychology has taught me many things.

For example, the value of humility and that ability to understand that you don't know everything.

I think a pro who thinks he knows it all is lost, that's the end of him.

That is why, in addition to putting my knowledge into practice, I try to learn every day. With the purpose of humility, some time ago he said that he believed that the fact that he was chosen for his first job, in a casting of 300 people, was " pure luck".

Do you still believe after three decades of career that chance brought you here? I still believe it.

I am convinced that the fact that I was chosen as the winner of a contest,

of the Ramblas station, among 300 people it was luck... But I also think that luck only appears when you go looking for it.

It doesn't come when you're sitting on the couch at home or when you're waiting for a call.

No, the one who has to call and insist is you and, in the end, someone will notice that.

I think I was lucky, but this one caught me breaking stone... And when you break stone, luck, bored, tells you "damn, let's say yes to this guy." And where did his nickname "Fernandisco" come from?

Also because of chance? When I started flirting with the radio and selling records in a store in Badalona, ​​I had a gang of friends with whom we would go out on the town.

And one fine day, a friend of mine, eating a frankfurter, told me "give me a bite, Fernandisco" and I said "this is a hell of an idea!".

And that's where it always happens.

In fact, "Fernandisco" is a registered trademark and no one ever calls me Fernando.

It's just that Fernandisco is not my alter ego.

It has already merged with Fernando and we work in the same direction. Let me tell you that, in addition to being a registered trademark, you are almost an institution.

In fact, when people think of 'From 40 to 1', one of the first things they remember is its name.

Could it be said that this was his golden age? It was milk.

Imagine... he gave Me an Ondas award!

It's that when they called me to tell me, I just thought "excuse me?", because it seemed almost impossible for someone to present video clips would come to that.

So yeah, I think it has a lot of merit.

For me, it was the greatest thing in the world.

Despite this, I would like to confess something to you: when the program marked astronomical figures,

when the recognition came, I couldn't enjoy it because I was working, I was on a roller coaster.... And now is when I'm enjoying it.

When, for example, I present Love The 90s and people approach me. I suppose that many approach you to talk about music and I would like to ask you a question as an expert: is there a song that you feel that your success is or was incomprehensible? The one from Chikilicuatre.

That year, I was in the Eurovision jury with Raffaela Carrá and she asked me "but what is this?"

and I just told her "I don't know what to tell you, or how to explain it to you. It's a catastrophe for our country and it's not funny at all"... And she asked again "but it will be a joke, right?".

And no, it wasn't a joke!

That was our song for Eurovision.

It was crazy that people danced the maiquelyason, the crusaíto and all that.

But you know what?

That I had to eat everything I said, because the song was number seven in the contest and I was like "I have no fucking idea about music."

That's why, when Raffaella asked me about the final result, I asked her not to talk to me about it again... Because I didn't even know what to say to her. Now let's travel to the present.

He has a program, with Mar Montoro, on Radio4G, called 'Since dawn, you feel like it'.

What do you like most about it? It's a program we've been doing for three years and I like it because we have a lot of fun, good music and experts talking about current issues.

Even so, we don't get into politics, or the issue of the pandemic... Because I feel that broadcasters have to be clear about one thing:

people have to be amused, not pissed off.

The one who is in the car, on the bus or on the subway wants to have a good time, not start the morning hearing that the world is shit.

Yes, we know there is a war going on, but I can't start the day by telling people "today marks 120 days of conflict."

I do not forget Ukraine.

What's more, we're talking about donations, but I'm not one of those people who's going to tell you at dawn "my goodness, go tomorrow!", because you make people's day bitter. a reference and continues to work.

What is the most important thing to you right now? My family is the most important thing I have: my first love (my wife Isabel), who is a producer, and my children who, although they don't want to be broadcasters, admire me.

I have not influenced that taste.

Though,

let me tell you that maybe it's not inherited.

Because I didn't come from a family that had anything to do with the radio either and, one day, my mother discovered me talking on the sink cover, hoping that my voice would be heard with an echo.

And yes... Although maybe she doesn't feel special to me, today I do think I was born for this.

And for the many other things I do.

Like film dubbing, festival gigs, conferences... I've come to the conclusion that I want to die on stage.

But I also have to tell you one thing: everything I've told you in this interview is from a deranged person.

I like what I do, but I'm crazy and I sing my mea culpa: I'm crazy.

But that has made me different.
