About Me

Hamilton musician Fred Magie has been writing and performing original songs for ten years. Currently recording with producer Trevor Titian, world-renowned musician Bill Dillon and drummer Tone Valcic, Fred aims to release his fourth album before Christmas 2008.Fred is easy going, introspective, and imaginative.. He has embraced a natural acoustic guitar sound reminiscent of Ron Sexsmith and Dave Matthews. But it’s his lyrics that have established Fred as a Canadian singer worth hearing. Fred explores issues of ambition, loss, and hope often through endearing characters and storylines.Through his showcases in Hamilton area clubs and music festivals Fred has established himself as a well known local artist. Through his diligence in fine tuning his songs with the help of the team of musicians around him, he has set his sights on finding a much wider audience. So with the plans for the new record and an extensive touring schedule, Fred is poised to impress fans of adult alternative music across the country.
