Pedropiedra
Polished Chilean indie pop with a drummer's sense of rhythm and a poet's eye for the absurd. Clever, melodic, and deeply human songs for thoughtful city living.

Pedro Subercaseaux, performing as Pedropiedra, is a cornerstone of the modern Chilean independent scene. His career is defined by a rare versatility, having served as a drummer for icons like Jorge González and the 31 Minutos live band while simultaneously building a solo catalog that redefined Chilean indie pop.
His sound identity is a sophisticated blend of 70s-influenced pop songwriting, hip-hop production sensibilities, and a multi-instrumentalist's approach to arrangement. Critically, he is viewed as a bridge between the classic 'Nueva Canción' melodic tradition and the synth-heavy 'Nuevo Pop Chileno' of the 2010s. His work often features dry, punchy percussion and intricate vocal harmonies, influenced by his time in the hip-hop duo Hermanos Brothers and the experimental pop group CHC. His cultural position is that of a 'musician's musician' who achieved mainstream success without sacrificing his quirky, intellectual edge. He remains a frequent collaborator across the Latin American indie landscape, cementing his role as a vital architect of the Santiago sound.
