Sounds Like: "Disfruta hoy como si no hubiera manana"Hey! Yeah, YOU—I see you looking over here. Go ahead read a little more—get to know me a little better. Cool. Well, I am the one known as The Infamous Freddie Soul, but my friends just call me Freddie Jay because truthfully, between you and me, I’m not really that infamous…yet. There are so many different aspects of me and my personality; I am hard person to truly understand, but once you do, I believe it is worth it. I like to have fun, experience new things, cause a little trouble every now and then, but mostly just have a good time. I love to laugh and I don’t take myself too seriously, but I do, for the most part, take my music seriously. When people come up to me and ask, “Hey, Freddie, what kind of music do you do?†I say, “(clear my throat) Well, you see (dramatic pause), I start with some straight-up hardcore country. Then I add a pinch of blues, maybe a touch of soul, oh yeah—mix in some pop, a bit of rock and roll—Mmmm, and squeeze a little extra southern rock in there. Shake it up a little, add a bit of the Freddie style, and I like to call my sweet concoction: SOUTHERN SOUL. But you can call it anything you like as long as you buy a CD and a T-shirt. Oh wait, I don’t even offer shirts. I guess you will have to make your own. Haha, for real, it is, at its core, country music. Its country music with style, country music with flare, its country music with ATT-I-TUDE. Some will love it, some may hate it, but I know at the end of the day, at least my mom will like it! :D
