Multi-hyphenate vocalist and bassist who curates, directs, and elevates musical teams across studios, live shows, TV, and branded content.
I'm Fredy V, a singer, bassist, producer, musical director, and performance coach based between Lisbon and Montreal.
Whether on stage, in the studio, or shaping someone else's vision, I bring curated expertise, instinctive musical leadership, and a team-first approach alongside seasoned musicianship and honest collaboration to every project.
I've shared stages and studios with artists and legends including Roy Ayers, Kool & The Gang, Omar, Snarky Puppy, Les Nubians, and Oddisee, to name a few. I also served nine seasons as Musical Director for Canadian television (ICI TÉLÉ / Radio-Canada). That experience honed my ability to execute creative vision under pressure with clear communication and strong leadership.
I also lead Fredy V & The Foundation, my collective of first-call musicians creating music powered by live instrumentation; blending contemporary funk, R&B, and Afro influences. We've released an EP and a full-length album, with steady rotation on CBC Radio, and key performances at Montreal International Jazz Festival, Festival d'Été de Québec.
With 20 years across every facet of the music industry, I'd love to bring my experience to your project. Whether you need a session player, production partner, musical director, or someone to shape your creative vision, I'm excited to collaborate.
