POPULARITY
Singer, songwriter, bassist, producer, entertainer Fredy V is back with a brand new EP, and this time he brought along his powerhouse band, The Foundation. Their trademark funk sound rises to new levels while combining Afro-pop influences that reflect the group's diversity. The Foundation From their weekly TV appearances as the house band for CBC/Radio-Canada talk show Les Poilus, to performances at the Montreal Jazz Fest and Cape Verde's Atlantic Music Expo, the group consistently displays an inclusive and multicultural experience that warrants their catch phrase “We got some for everybody!” Fredy V & The Foundation released their debut EP ‘ONE STEP' in the Fall of 2020. This collaborative process saw each member's experience and skill put into writing, composing, arranging and producing; giving light to catchy powerhouse songs that seamlessly combine R&B, funk, afropop and hip hop. From backing band to production team, The Foundation is on course to becoming major contributors to Canada's flourishing R&B culture. GIMME THE CHECK PODCAST Artist/Producer Fredy V takes his humble experience as a music journalist and jumps into the media industry with the launch of his very own podcast GIMME THE CHECK: The show highlights Montreal's budding and diverse R&B scene and provides a much needed platform for Montreal based artists, producers and music industry professionals to dictate their respective narratives.
*In English* Fredy is the frontman for Fredy V. & the Foundation and host of the podcast "Gimme the Check". He graciously accepted to sit down with me as we break down the songs off their ep "One Step". We also discuss the concept and motivations behind his newly launched podcast.

Fredy V & The Foundation seize the day with "One Step", Anderson .Paak slangs funk to the masses on "Jewelz", and The Soul Kids hit hard with a high voltage James Brown cover. Plus an all-star affair on Seanie T's "Veterans", unbreakable soul from DJ Rogers, and Twilite Tone's smoldering refix "I Still Need Love".
