   About Michael Fredo
Michael Fredo was influenced by recordings by artists such as Antonio Carlos Jobim, Frank Sinatra, and Duke Ellington, Michael studied and performed in highschool productions and coffee houses developing a reputation as an entertainer and jazz aficionado. At the age of 17 Michael moved from his hometown of Elmire NY,to Manhattan to study at the prestigious Professional Children’s School for the performing arts. Michael’s talent was soon noticed by fellow student Paul Ellington, Grandson and heir to the famed Duke Ellington Orchestra. Paul had Michael audition for his father Mercer Ellington, the conductor of the Duke Ellington Orchestra and was cast as the lead male vocalist for the worldwide tour. For the next four years, Michael toured the world with the Orchestra performing in theaters and concert halls with the likes of Diana Krall and many others. One night at an industry party in Los Angeles, Michael met Grammy award winning producer Quincy Jones and convinced him to take 5 minutes to hear him sing in his hotel room. Quincy agreed and was so impressed that he signed Fredo to his first major label record deal later that month where he went on to sell over 2 million copies of his debut album. (Quest/WarnerBros.) Fredo’s music accompanied the Tommy Hilfiger ad campaign of which he became the model and spokesperson. Touring the world with Britney Spears, The Backstreet Boys, N’SYNC, and other pop supergroups gave Michael unprecedented exposure and experience but something about his Jazz days never left his soul. “Those days were crazy and exciting but in the end I was most natural with a Billy Strayhorn tune and a martini glass in my hand” Michael Fredo is currently recording his big band album with producer Jay Levine that will be called American Classics and features a full orchestra. contact:JayLevine jay@lefthookrecords.com

Is there any way at all to buy & download We Need A Little Christmas? It is seriously sending my Desire-To-Have Meter into orbit to hear it but not own it.
