Jody Bernal

Jody Bernal was born in Bogota, Colombia. At nearly the age of 3 months, he was adopted by a Dutch family and raised in the city of Delft. As anyone from Holland will know, at the age of only 18, he has scored an enormous #1 hit with the remake of the Argentinian summer song ‘Que Si, Que No’.

Until this year, this song is still the longest nominated number one hit in Dutch music history, 15 weeks to be exact! Several hits followed such as ‘Oh Bambolero‘, ‘Un Beso Mas‘, ‘Me and You‘, ‘Dreams‘ and ‘Chica Bonita‘, from which he has received numerous awards and golden record statuses. Jody has been, due to his success, a public figure ever since.

When Jody’s interest in House music started to grow, he started producing his own music. Through discipline and persistence, he educated himself in the craft of producing music. His preference goes out to music for the clubs and festivals. He started DJ’ing as a familiar face and suddenly got embraced by the club scene in Amsterdam. Starting as a resident DJ in the trendy and gay-friendly Club ‘NYX’ in Amsterdam, people started noticing his DJ abilities and rediscovering his quality as a performer. Jody’s Eclectic sound, being a popular mix of House, Disco, and all-time hits, made the promoters from events nationwide wanting to book his passionate DJ set.

As of now, Jody Bernal has built up a great list of events he has performed at, like Solar Festival, Freshtival, WiSH Outdoor, Amsterdams Verbond, Dance Valley, Paaspop, 7th Sunday, Vunzige Deuntjes and many more. He has started his own club concept, ‘Sjiek de Friemel’ as well, which has become a popular event in three major cities in the Netherlands. He has even gotten rid of all clichés of the ‘Child Pop Star’ and has become a cult, DJ personality in a vibrant Dutch club scene. With a new repertoire coming up, Jody Bernal is set on adding some kick in his reinvented career. And sometimes during his DJ set, when the vibe is just right, he even sings ‘Que Si, Que No’ live to show the crowd that he is still proud of where he came from.
