Chad Bernstein is one of South Florida’s premier Latin, jazz and funk musicians, and plays with the Latin Grammy-nominated Spam Allstars and the band, ¡Suénalo!

Born in Philadelphia and raised outside Chicago, Bernstein moved to Miami in 2002 to attend the University of Miami’s Frost School of Music. He started the non-profit Guitars Over Guns Organization (or GOGO), which aims to provide at-risk adolescents with a music alternative to their neighborhood gangs and violence and help them stay in school and graduate.

He has played and recorded with John Legend, Shakira, Pitbull, Jennifer Hudson, the Temptations, Natalie Cole and Arturo Sandoval, just to name a few. He has performed on the Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien, the Ellen DeGeneres Show and at the ALMA Awards.
