"Mike Fredo is the epitome of the pop sound... with authentic melody
and vocal range all in one solo act. We've been looking for a long time for
a pop artist that is the real thing and enjoys every minute of what he does."
- Quincy Jones
A world-class pop-vocalist and a natural entertainer,
Michael Fredo has toured with internationally
recognized musicsensations and has been featured in
film, television, and a broad range of advertising
campaigns. His music videos have been viewed
thousands of times on television and YouTube, his
previous single, "This Time Around", reached 21 on
the Billboard Hot 100 Singles Sales Chart, and his
albums have sold over 300,000 copies worldwide.
Born in Elmira, NY, Michael Fredo moved to New York City at an early age to study
music at the Professional Children's School and continued his education at the Juil-
liard School of Music and Ithaca College. During this time, he joined the prestigious
Duke Ellington Orchestra and was cast as lead male vocalist opposite the Grammy
Award winning Jazz vocalist Diana Krall. The singers performed duets at music events,
such as the Cancun Jazz Festival, gaining both singers exposure and credibility with
industry insiders. Shortly thereafter, Michael was signed by Quincy Jones to
Qwest/Warner Brothers Records where he began recording his first album, Introduc-
ing Michael Fredo. He then promoted the album on the road with Britney Spears
during her "Baby One More Time" tour. His music also accompanied the Tommy Jeans
advertising campaign, of which Michael became the spokesperson.
Since being catapulted onto the music scene, Michael has toured the world and
played with such renowned artists as Aaron Neville, Chaka Khan, Wyclef Jean, and The
Black Eyed Peas, among many more. He has also collaborated on music with top pro-
ducers, such as David Foster, Quincy Jones, and Rudy Perez. His new material fuses his
smooth vocals with melodic song-writing while maintaining the teardrop sound that
has always set Michael apart from his closest contemporaries. Some of Michael's new
material can be heard and purchased on iTunes.
