He is an encyclopedia of moods, authentically and effortlessly able to shift between hard rock, hip-hop, funk, jazz, and Latin styles.
A passionate and dynamic performer, balancing rock-solid groove and sonorous tone with an innate sense of musicality, Ferreiro possesses an artistic depth far beyond his years.
In Cuba, Ferreiro was the bassist for Anabel Lopez (one of the islands most notable divas) and is featured on her live album, recorded at Havana's National Theater in front of an audience of thousands.
After defecting to the U.S. in 1996, he had the good fortune to perform in a myriad of American cities and has shared stages with Bono, Jurassic 5, Los Lobos, Celia Cruz, Ruben Blades, Howie Day, Beth Hart, Sheila E, Stewart Copland and Flea, among others.
Hector was the bass player for RCA recording artist Charlotte Martin and has played over 25 shows with her. He has contributed bass tracks to her debut CD, on which he worked with producers Ken Andrews and Cliff Magnes.
He has also performed and recorded with artists such as singer/songwriter Terami Hirsch and the rock band Sabrosa Purr. Hector is currently a member of the experimental rock band The Frequency with whom he has toured throughout the United States and Canada and appeared at a number of major summer festivals including 10,000 Lakes Festival, Quebec International Summer Music Festival, and the Wicker Park Music Festival. The Frequency have shared the stage with artists as diverse as Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Mute Math, The 1990’s, Benzos, and Lotus.
