The
Spin
From the land of eagles, a new and powerful voice takes
flight. Frederik Doci, an Italian/Albanian hailing from the lakes and
mountains of Albania's historic Shkodra, is on a mission to capture the
hearts and minds of music lovers everywhere. Doci has electrified the
stage all over the world with the voice of Caruso, the heart of Elvis
Presley and the soul of a gypsy. Not only does he scale the operatic heights
of his deep baritone and enchanting tenor range, he also melts hearts
with his seductive and sensual romantic voice. What sets Frederik apart
from the opera stars and crooners is his versatility as a multi-instrumentalist
and accomplished songwriter. The world will discover on Frederik's fourth
and latest CD, Canterina, that he not only sings the language of love,
he performs songs in six different languages.
After a brief career in acting, Frederik's recording
debut came out of Italy where he played guitar and sang with Pagina d'Album.
The album Canta Frederik was well received in Italy and the subsequent
video was aired on several TV stations there. Frederik made inroads with
his second CD Sono Gitano, when it became a best seller in Italy. The
CD continues to be a best seller in Frederik's home country and parts
of Eastern Europe. After invitations to several major events, such as
the Peace Festival in Romania, where he sang a song for the late Mother
Teresa, the Miss Europa pageant, and other key festivals, Frederik set
sail for the U.S., landing in San Diego, California. It was here that
he was courted by the Christian College Heritage and commissioned to record
his third CD, Frederik and Friends. Featuring American Christian sacred
songs, Frederik took the bold step of doing his first project in English.
Frederik's new CD features songs in English as well as
Spanish, Italian, Greek, French, and naturally, Albanian. The album captures
all of Frederik's influences: classical, folk, gypsy, pop, and rock. He
fuses it all into one world-class project. The album was produced by George
A. Gesner of GAG Order Productions and recorded at Manhattan's Magik Music
with renown programmer/sound designer, Harold Stephan (Amelia's Dream)
plus an international, world-class cast of musicians. The project was
mixed by Miklos Malek (Anastacia, Jennifer Lopez, Celine Dion) and mastered
at Sterling Sound with famed engineer Tom Coyne. |
