A GREAT new talent is about to rock the global music market – singer-songwriter Fredrik Ferrier, who is releasing his first single in time for Christmas – the soulful Feliz Navidad (She Stole My Heart). But it’s Fredrik who is likely to break hearts.

Fredrik, who has had success as a TV star, was discovered by Ivor Novello and Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter and producer Simon Climie, who co-wrote the song especially for Fredrik and has been recording with him this autumn.

Feliz Navidad (She Stole My Heart) is a perfect marriage of voice and song, and Fredrik recently flew to the Italian Dolomites to record a romantic, snow-filled video to accompany the release. His honey-smooth vocals accompany his emotional stroll through the snow-covered mountains as he looks up to the sky, longingly wishing for the girl who stole his heart.

Simon has worked with a host of global music stars, including Eric Clapton, BB King, George Michael and Aretha Franklin (he wrote the latter’s chart-topping duet, I Knew You Were Waiting). He was also famed as a pop star himself as one half of duo Climie Fisher, who had a number of hits.

Fredrik comes from a musical family, and his highly romantic Nordic good looks come from his unusual background, being half English and half Icelandic. And he truly is a global citizen, having lived in a variety of countries, including Norway, Syria, Denmark and the United States – a superb grounding for an international career.

Fredrik’s passion for music began at a young age in Norway, where he was inspired his parents’ extensive music collection, from jazz and soul to opera and pop. He learned to play the violin, then developed his voice, becoming a treble in a cathedral choir in Scotland and a music scholar at the UK’s famous The Oratory School before reading music at Bristol University.

Fredrik also plays the piano, and speaks several languages, including French, Spanish and Arabic – and sings part of Feliz Navidad in Spanish.

Feliz Navidad (She Stole My Heart) was co-written and co-produced with iconic Icelandic composer and producer Bjarni Biering for new record label, Songevity, and also features the amazing  trumpet playing of Simon Gardner.

On the day of his debut single’s release – Monday, 18 December, 2017 – Fredrik gave an exclusive performance of the song on Apple Music, and in the UK the TV series he stars in, BAFTA Award-winning Made in Chelsea, where he has built up a huge following. 

The single is available on iTunes, Spotify and Amazon now
