Freddie in 2015

Gábor Alfréd Fehérvári (born 8 April 1990) known by his stage name Freddie, is a Hungarian singer, most notable for placing fourth in the first season of the Hungarian version of Rising Star and being the representative for Hungary in the Eurovision Song Contest 2016.^[1]

Career

Freddies' grandfather was Hungarian football coach Alfréd Fehérvári (1925-2007). Freddie studied at a commercial college before his music career, and worked as an assistant in Győr. By 2010, he had not only sang but also played guitar in small bands. Freddie first performed professionally in the Hungarian version of Rising Star. He reached the top twelve, then top six and then in the top four qualifiers. In the finals, he finished in fourth place. After Rising Star, collaborating with András Kállay-Saunders, Freddie performed his first original song, "Mary Joe", and reached the Petőfi Radio Top 30 list. It became one of the domestic summer hits of 2015. He began performing under his stage name Freddie in Autumn 2015. In December 2015, it was announced that Freddie would participate in A Dal 2016 with the song Pioneer. He won A Dal and will represent his home country in May 2016.^[2]
