JP Faúndez is a Chilean drummer and composer based in New York. He has been deeply connected to music since the age of 5, and by 12 he was already performing with his hometown church band in Linares. A few years later, he moved to Santiago, where he quickly became active in the city’s music scene, performing on national television and playing concerts across jazz, fusion, pop, and R&B with leading artists throughout South America.
His dedication to his craft earned him the Gifted Tuition Scholarship from the Latin Grammy Cultural Foundation, which allowed him to attend and graduate from Berklee College of Music in Boston.
JP has performed and recorded with renowned artists including Arturo Sandoval, Jesús Molina, Noel Schajris, Jesús Adrián Romero, Pedrito Martinez, Thuy, and Miguel Bosé, among others.
