Electro-popping music and non-stop grooving, yes, it’s that time of the year again—Wanderland Music Arts and Festival is back, and this year’s lineup is nothing short of “wander-ful” as it also features Filipino-American singer-songwriter Jeff Bernat.
Following the festival’s pandemic-induced hiatus, Wanderland 2024 is all set for Mar. 9 and 10 at the Filinvest Concert Grounds in Alabang. American singer-songwriter Jack Johnson is headlining the festival together with Welsh artist Novo Amor, Fil-Aussie Grentperez, Filipino musician Paolo Sandejas, and—representing the Filipino-American community with his silky smooth vocals— Jeff Bernat.
Bernat himself is thrilled to be part of the event, saying on Instagram, “My Philippines debut. I finally get to perform in the motherland.”

Jeff Bernat’s musical odyssey
Hailing from Los Angeles, California, the 33-year-old artist has taken the musical world by storm. With over two million monthly listeners on Spotify and nearly a billion streams worldwide, Bernat’s music has swept hearts across the globe.
And get this: He’s sort of part of the K-world after he gained recognition in South Korea where he released his first album “The Gentleman Approach” in 2012. Through this album, he was able to create a fan base in Korea after one of its tracks “Call You Mine” was used in the 2014 K-drama, “You are my Destiny.”
While the records prove he’s a real hitmaker, he’s also a musical chameleon, having contributed to the soundtrack of Oscar-winning film “Birdman” despite his musical style leaning towards R&B and soul.
One proof of his soulful genre is his latest release, “Daydream” which we can guarantee is your ticket to cloud nine.

Furthermore, Bernal’s been on the move as he’s already graced the stage in Thailand last June and had completed a North American tour in August 2022.
