Biography

Carles Pereira is a drummer and composer from Barcelona, Spain. Playing the drums since age one, Carles took his passion with him and continued to play while growing up in The United States, China, and Switzerland. It was during his years living in Singapore, however, that his experience as a performing musician skyrocketed, performing with a local pop/rock band through Singapore and South East Asia in renown venues playing both drums and guitar, simultaneously obtaining musical certifications from Rockschool UK on both these instruments. In 2015, Carles was awarded a scholarship to attended B ... erklee College of Music’s Five Week Summer Program. While attending the program, Carles later went on to receive yet another scholarship, but this time, to return to Berklee a year later and attend as an undergraduate student.
During his time as an undergraduate student at Berklee, Carles had the opportunity to learn from some of the most sought-after professors, perform with important names in the Boston and international scene, receive the 2018 Yamaha Young Performing Artist Drummer award, as well as other awards from Zildjian, Berklee, and the Percussive Arts Society. Carles earned his Bachelor’s in Drum Set Performance with honors in 2020, and stayed in Boston to record his debut EP, “It’s About Time”, released the next year. Right after, Carles was accepted at New England Conservatory’s graduate program in Jazz Composition under a scholarship. During his time at NEC, Carles has developed his skill set as a composer, arranging and writing for NEC’s JCWO Big Band, composing in the classical idiom, as well as continuing to perform with artists such as Dave Holland, Arturo O’Farrill, and Aoife O’Donovan. Carles is currently a last-semester graduate student at NEC, where he will receive his Master’s Degree in Jazz Composition in May 2023. In the meantime, Carles is also working on his next musical project, with hopes to be released later this year.
