Noah "Wuv" Bernardo Jr. (born February 24, 1974) is an American musician, most notably the guitarist and drummer for Christian nu metal band P.O.D.[1]

According to a FAQ, Bernardo is Filipino, Italian, German, and Chamorro.[2] He is the first cousin of the band's frontman Sonny Sandoval. His father, Noah Bernardo Sr. started Rescue Records, which was P.O.D.'s first label.

It has been announced that Wuv will be handling drum duties for the band StillWell, a side project of Fieldy, the bassist of metal band Korn. Wuv has been playing drums most of his life. During acoustic sets, he normally plays the rhythm guitar. He also has a side project called Southtown Generals, with Rasta Tim Pacheco. In 2020, Bernardo formed a project called Belle and the Dragon, alongside members of Flyleaf.[3]

In a multiple interviews with Sonny and Wuv it was confirmed that Wuv is on hiatus but “not out of the band”, citing burnout from endless years of touring and slight tension as the main reasons.[4]
