Thanks for finding Freddy for me - I have been following the story from the start (regular morning listener) - and I have quickly gotten hooked. Why?
1. The story is compelling (who doesn't root for the underdog who has survived "tragedy"?)
2. He's likeable & admirable (laid-back, "fun" personality; smart - hello, Ivy League 4.0; humble and learned from past mistakes - no big ego here; he's refreshingly oriented to family values and respects his parents; wrestles with his own insecurities, just like the rest of us...I could go on and on....)
3. He's drop-dead gorgeous - all ready for superstardom
4. His artistic soul - evident in every note and breath
5. His strong, rich versatile vocal ability
6. His upbeat, toe-tapping melodies get absolutely wrapped inside my head - I haven't stopped singing/humming them since I was first exposed
7. Beautiful lyrics - the poet inside this English major is very evident
8. Dripping in musical talent; ability to play instruments, layer compositions -- and go from start to finish in warp speed (witness his "Dallas" theme song for the morning show)...he's got it all!)
9. He fills a void in music of the moment...
I did attend his Dallas "debut" at Texas Bar and Grill last night, also; the audience was filled with male & female of all ages. Everyone I spoke to (many) felt just like I do. We were treated to a casual, "conversational" performance - just 1 man and his piano; no place to hide. The power of his clean, rich voice was captivating; each song had a story. I could have listened to much, much more...he left me wanting....
Best of all is the person, the artist Freddy; genuinely nice guy. He was so eager to really connect with each member of the audience, and appreciative of us - he paused to truly converse with EVERYone and honor all requests. You had his full, eye-to-eye attention! Obviously, this sort of indulgence can't go on forever - he's only one person; all the more reason for me to savor my moment...
I don't know how to help him navigate from here...I'm hoping the Music Gods will guide him on the right path. But the raw talent and artistry just can't be ignored.
He's really something special - Thank you, Freddy - can't wait to hear more!
