About Me
Freda Rente' Singer/Songwriter/Musician/Producer Freda's instrumental talents developed much later throughout a course of years. However, Freda's vocal ability was nurtured in her early years. After a brief yet life changing incounter with the Stage/Screen Actress/ Jazz Singer, "Ethal Waters" found her crying in a hallway at Miservy Elementary School, in Kansas City, Mo. Ms. Waters had seen both the instrumental and vocal auditions of Freda and had heard the music instructor tell Freda that she had no rhythm. (imagine that!). Ms. Ethal Waters found Freda and said "your voice, is your calling. You are so young and it is already so beautiful. Use it, Please use it." Ms. Waters words were strong but the music instructors words were stronger. Freda' passion for the opera, ballet, musicals, acting and painting helped distract her from trying to play an instrument. Freda landed a part on the "Mr. Rogers Show, and the later a few plays and really small parts in movies and commercials. Freda returned to what felt the best, but scared her the most, Music! Freda has sang most styles and has had the pleasure of recording, jamming and/or performing with some pretty cool peeps and has played some cool events through the years.
