“I’ve been an Aristides artist since 2012 simply because it’s the best bass I’ve ever played. Since the first time I jammed with one, I knew it was a very unique brand. The sound, quality, design, stability, and overall beauty of their instruments make them one of a kind.
Its pristine, crystal clear but still heavy tone definitely helped me shape my signature bass sound in my bands and it’s so complete that a pre-amp with just a few extra features is all i need – my Aristides bass already has all i need.”

Bio
Fernanda Lira is a bassist and vocalist from São Paulo, Brazil.
Born in 1989 and having her first contact with Metal at a very young age, she heard the calling to learn how to play bass at the age of 13.
Throughout her adolescence, she played only in female bands of different metal genres. Soon after, she studied Journalism for 3 years and had a career in the metal press, working for many media outlets writing articles, interviews and live reviews and even hosting Metal shows on TV and radio.
In 2011 she joined the thrash metal band Nervosa, whose career she helped build for almost a decade, helping write and record the band’s first EP and its three subsequent albums. With them, she also toured alongside big names in the metal scene and performed many shows in almost 60 countries, including some of the most important festivals around the world. She decided to leave the band in April 2020, and is currently focused on CRYPTA, a female Death Metal quartet, co-founded by her and her drummer in June 2019, with which she has already released two critically acclaimed albums that hit charts worldwide, including 2 spots on Billboard, and has toured extensively around the world, also featuring in noticeable festivals and tours in the genre.
In parallel, the artist occasionally promotes workshops and lectures in which she shares experiences and tips on career management, her style of playing bass and her vocal techniques, both clean and guttural.
Also in March 2025 she debuted her new project called “Remembering Amy” where she pays homage and celebrates the life and art of one of the greatest singers in the world, Amy Winehouse, in a tribute that, in addition to the songs, tells the artist’s story.
In addition, he has a constant presence on social media, where she talks to her followers not only about her bands and music, but also about other topics that she identifies with, such as veganism, sobriety, mental health, yoga, holistic practices, among many other subjects.
Fernanda has played with and been an Aristides artist since 2012.
