Biography
Having spent nearly two decades on stage, the singer and songwriter first took up performing while still a teenager. A scholarship took him to Boston’s Berklee College of Music after he finished high school, and in 1990 he completed his studies there with honors before carrying on with his musical development. He next returned to Toronto and later attended the Claude Weston School for the Arts in Banff, Alberta, where Eli Kassner served as his instructor. His first record, Mother Earth, appeared in 1999 and earned praise for its “acoustic-influenced tunes” and “well-crafted songs.” The following year brought an honorable mention in the John Lennon Songwriting Competition. Freedman kept playing throughout the Toronto region and elsewhere in Canada, turning his attention to material that felt more autobiographical. Those songs eventually drew him back into the studio, where he cut Postcards From the South for Earth Man Music.
