Fernando was born in Brazil, moved to the USA when he was 14 and after living and performing in LA for several years, moved to San Diego in 1998. Ted was born and raised just north of Boston, moving to San Diego in 1995. They became friends in 2000 and quickly developed a musical kinship, and soon began performing in various rock and acoustic bands together. In 2008, they decided to develop The Sophisticados as it felt like the right time and the right fit for them musically, and a perfect match for the growing, vibrant San Diego cosmopolitan, wine & music scene.
