Planet of Sound (no.10)


Name: Bernard Free
Birthdate: 15th September 1988
Instruments: Drums

Affiliations: Dire Tribe
Bio: A recent addition to the Planet of Sound collective, Bernard came to Spike’s attention through answering an advertisement for a drummer. Little is known about his background although it is understood he spent several years living on the streets – this in turn has shaped him into something of an aggressive character. Eventually, through social support, Bernard was assigned to play drums in a community musical project. Finding an out let for his anger, Bernard took to drumming like a duck to water. And within time, he eventually found his way to the Planet of Sound collective.

In the collective, Bernard doesn’t contribute much to discussions or put forth any ideas – he’s more intent on drumming and as long as he does so, he’s happy. His relationships with everyone else seem somewhat strained as he seems intent on following on from his experiences on the streets. As such he seems to enjoy the idea of living like a rock star and the rebelliousness that comes with such a lifestyle. Whilst this make for some difficult times, Rick is intent on keeping Bernard largely due to his drumming prowess and the fact that his presence certainly livens up due moments backstage and on the tour bus.
