Notes
--------
Born in 9th December 1977 and grown in Alvalade neighbourhood in Lisbon,
Frederico Oliveira a.k.a. Freddy Locks belongs to a generation of musicians that
came from that neighbourhood and made history in the punk-rock music scene in
Portugal. Freddy begins to play music in a punk band by the age of 17. In that
time he was commited to the anarquist and ocuppation movements in spain and
Portugal. At the summer of 95 he has a few experiences that changed his life. In
his words: "...In that summer i found my infinite light, the secret of positive
reality. The thing that people call "god" and lives inside every living beeing.
This happened after i felt the many revelations in places I've been, people i
met and... Reggae music". After this, Freddy starts writing his songs and
playing in the Lisbon subway and everywhere he goes. Althougth his background
and message was anarquist, he sounded as a reggae singer. In 1999 he forms the
band "Nature" and joins "20 pás 8". In both cases as lead singer and guitar
player. With these bands, Freddy plays many concerts in ocupation sites and
politic events, specially with "20 pás 8", which sound was described by the fans
as "reggae-punk". This band ended on 2003. In 2004 Freddy records his first solo
album, with reggae producer Asher G, called "Rootsrockstruggeling". This record
was made with no label support, but reaches the portuguese national radio Antena
3 and the song "Wake up" was named "song of the year" by the Reggae show "Radio
Fazuma". Also in 2004, Freddy forms the band "Poormanstyle". They get to play in
the same stage as reggae legends "Sly & Robbie". In 2006 Freddy starts his solo
project and releases the record "Bring up the feeling" on the first indie/reggae
label in Portugal called "Gumalaka". This record was named the album of the year
by Reggae comunity "Sunshine reggae" and "Zona Reggae". Its single was
playlisted on "Antena3" and reached the 1 position on the Public..s Chart. The
videoclip of the same song was also playlisted on MTV Portugal. "Bring up the
feeling" record is referred as the example of the evolution of reggae music
coming from Portugal. Touring Portugal during 2008 and 2009, Freddy's new album
is coming out on 19 April 2010.
