Fredson

Fredson was born in Goiatuba, Goiás in 1968. He moved to Brasília in the 1990s, where he eventually recorded his debut album in 2004. The title track 'Aquele Que Está Feliz' became a hit that year, though it was later the subject of plagiarism accusations from a Colombian songwriter.

His music draws from sertanejo traditions, with songs like 'Eu Sou da Bahia' and 'Este É O Som Do Carimbó' reflecting Brazilian regional styles. He has worked with artists including Chitãozinho & Xororó and Zezé Di Camargo & Luciano.

Fredson's band, sometimes called Fredson & Banda Domínio, plays with the rhythmic drive typical of the genre. Albums like 'Ao Vivo em Goiânia' from 2009 and 'Solo Sertanejo' from 2014 followed his initial success.
