Fernandes's paternal uncle was a performer of moderate acclaim, known for his contribution in a minor capacity to the Konkani film Jivit Amchem Oxem.

During his childhood at the age of 9, he was a frequent spectator at the non stop dramas presented by Rosario Rodrigues, a popular figure in the Goan khell tiatr tradition.

Following the viewing of these performances, he would go back to his uncle's residence in Sernabatim and replicate the cants or songs from the tiatrs, with a focus on those created by Rodrigues.

While studying at the institution, he crafted brief dramatic pieces in Konkani and English, with the assistance of the brothers in bringing these theatrical works to life on stage.

In 1980, his foray into acting commenced with the creation of the play Goa Today for an English theatrical production, ultimately winning in an inter-house competition by clinching the first prize.

Fernandes' big break came when he was cast in a children's tiatr directed by Mini Mario, titled Adim Tum, Atam Hanv (Before You, Now I Am).

Fernandes has also expanded his reach beyond Goa, traveling abroad to perform tiatrs in the Gulf region, the United Kingdom, France, Portugal, and Canada.

[1] In addition to his acting work, he has penned several non-stop tiatrs, including Chondrim (Moon), Kidd (Worm), Pez (Congee), Devak Zai Zalear (If God Wills), among others.

After completing a successful two-year performance run in London, he decided to return to his hometown of Goa and became a member of Menino De Bandar's theater ensemble.

He later wrote and produced his own 2020 play titled Utt Ani Chol (Get Up and Walk), which drew inspiration from his personal life experiences, health challenges, and religious faith.

He is particularly acclaimed for his ability to impersonate a range of famous personalities, including Jacinto Vaz, Remo Fernandes, Michael Jackson, and Bob Marley, among others.

In September 2021, Fernandes expanded his repertoire by appearing as a singer, alongside his daughter Ben Cecilia, in a musical homage dedicated to.
