Freddy? Yes. Andrew from Australia Oh, Andrew! How are you going? Good, man. How are you? Very well, thank you. I'm a few minutes late of course but at least this time I called. [Last scheduled time I forgot…Ooops] Oh, no. Not at all. It's fine. It's only 4:15 in the afternoon. Terrific. Have you got a moment to chat? Absolutely. Fantastic. Great to talk to you after all this time. Yes. I've been a fan since the debut, in fact. I picked that up upon release back in the day. Oh, my gosh. Longtime fan. So you're calling from Australia? I'm from Australia, indeed. And where are you calling me from now? I'm in the state of Tasmania right down the bottom. Incredible. I love Australia. Do you? Have you ever been down here? Yes I have. I did a promotional tour with Alias down there and it was unbelievable. Is ...

Mecca - Fergie Frederiksen (2002)

AOR Heaven NEH Records Z-Roxx Loud 1 Groove Machine Destiny Hot Tracks Target Wishing Well Perris Visual Vinyl             FERGIE FREDERIKSEN / Mecca - Lead Vocals / Co-Writer Hi Fergie, Thanks for taking the time out to answer some questions! It's always a pleasure speaking with you Andrew. You have worked with Jim Peterik before and through that I know you knew Joe Vana and it was his idea to get you in, but how did you officially find yourself involved in the Mecca project? Joe and I met while I was returning from holiday in Michigan. I had my 3 boy in the van and I met Joe at a studio some where in the suburbs. I think I got lost trying to find it. Any way, Joe played some songs that he had put together that would be on the CD. I was very impressed with the tunes. They were demos but had a very good vibe and Joe sounded great on the few I heard. Then he played a couple that Jimmy co-wrote. Man, they were very cool. The idea of working w/ Jimmy producing my vocals and having such a great start made it a ...

From The Inside (2004)

From The Inside: Danny Vaughn and his return to a more melodic sound. Danny talks about this new project and his upcoming tour with the classic Tyketto. Hey Danny, great to see you back in action with the new From The Inside release. After two well received Vaughn albums, what drew you towards this project? I'm always looking for challenges. Things that I haven't tried before. I feel that a musician gets stagnant if he or she only works along the same set lines all the time. I have never attempted to interpret other people's songs on a recording before. It isn't as easy as you might think and I really enjoyed trying our best to make these songs our own. Also, I was very unhappy with my previous record label and this opportunity from Frontiers seemed like the perfect way to test new waters. So far I'm very happy with this arrangement. There was obviously a certain willingness to record some other people's songs and also return to a more AOR sound, what was the thought process going into this record? It was something like, "Here goes nothing!" You have to be willing to fall on your face sometimes. ...

Fabrizio V.Zee Grossi (2004)

From The Inside: From the other side of the studio. Record producer and musician Fabrizio V.Zee Grossi talks about working with various artists for Frontiers Records and more. G'Day Fabrizio! I thought it about time to throw some interview questions at you. You have recently wrapped up working with Danny Vaughn - how did you rate this experience? Really good, Danny is a great singer and one of the best guys around...you gotta love him! How did you involve yourself in the song selection for this project? Not really, that was more Danny and the record company. Any particular favourites from this album? The song Danny and I co-wrote Nothing at all . You co-wrote the opening track with Danny and you also co-wrote with Jack Blades for Over The Edge. How do you go about working with different writers? It's when I get the most fun ....it all depends what I need or want to write about and get the right partner for it ....I really like co-write , sometimes more than write just by myself. On some projects you can play virtually all the instruments, but on others, such as From The Inside, you contribute bass and keyboards. ...
