Fernando on guitar for World Music Day

21 June 2026 is World Music Day. We have many fantastic musicians in the Australian bleeding disorders community, but Fernando might just be our youngest.

From a young age, Fernando has loved playing guitar. Like any 11yo boy, he is often out playing soccer and basketball, but sometimes his haemophilia means he needs to take a break. So he set himself a goal – to get confident enough on guitar to play in front of his whole school.

Do you think he’s ready?

Video features Fernando playing a cover of Paradise by Coldplay.
