Raised in Los Angeles Freddi's impressive list of musical associations include performances with Lola Falana, former Supreme Jean Terrell, Lisa Stansfield, Phyllis Hyman, Patti Labelle, Ron Townsend, and The late great Sammy Davis Jr. Her television appearances include the Tonight Show, Merv Griffin, and the Arsenio Hall show.

She managed her own 12 piece band "The Motorcity Angels" and was touring extensively with the legendary Motown Songstress Gladys Knight. I had the chance to meet Freddi twice so far and she's a very lovely Lady. The first time I met her was backstage after a concert here in Antwerp, the second time was at the Sunset Junction in Los Angeles. I love her powerfull voice!

Here's a picture of me and Freddi with her daughter Demetria. You can also find it on her website and was taken backstage at the "Sunset Junction":
