Anthony Flagg Jr. (Fedel) is from a diverse background, having lived in many states as well as several different types of communities. He is a man who talks from the heart and whose music is full of his life and life lessons.
Fedel is focused on making music that relates to people from all walks of life, not just any one group. He grew up on the streets of Memphis, TN, where a large majority of his early influences began.
Fedel's vision for his music is that it would be a form of healing, bring restoration and touching listener's hearts. His desire is for his music to spread across the globe, touching people from all nations and backgrounds. Fedel has a strong desire to collaborate on projects with other artists and music genres to produce music that will change the world around him.
The name "Fedel" was chosen by looking for a synonym for "truth". The definition of "fidelity" embodies many of the things Anthony wanted to characterize in his music. The "i" in "fidelity" was changed to an "e" to make the name more personal and unique.
