Artist Profile

Fredo Viola

Label:
Agent: Greg Lowe

Fred Viola was born in London, England and spent his first five years living in England and Rome. After that his family moved to New York, then Los Angeles, where he spent most of his adolescent years, singing professionally as a boy soprano and studying art once his voice changed. Finally he moved back to NYC to attend NYU Tisch School of the Arts, where he studied to be a film director and soaked in an eclectic selection of music.

Jonathon Demme licensed one of Viola's songs in "The Manchurian Candidate."

Viola made his first music video, "The Sad Song," which garnered attention from Roger Ebert, Neil Gaiman, Massive Attack, ABC News Now, and several film directors, all offering opportunities.

Viola then flew to Bristol to begin a collaboration with Massive Attack, "who are two of the nicest and most creative guys I have met. I hope this bears fruit!"
