Fredy V, originally from Senegal and Cape Verde, is a singer, bassist, producer and musical director. He first came to prominence in Washington DC before becoming fully integrated into Montreal's vibrant cultural scene.
After overcoming a health ordeal that almost cost him his life, Fredy V saw his solo career take a decisive turn. With admirable resilience, he joined forces with talented singer Mel Pacifico, as well as members of his band, to form the ensemble Fredy V & The Foundation, bringing together the leading musicians on the Montreal R&B scene.
In 2020, Fredy V & The Foundation released their debut EP ONE STEP, a self-produced six-song project blending R&B, funk, afrobeats and hip-hop. From musicians to backing band to formidable production team, they are on the rise on the Canadian music scene.

The group is currently preparing the release of their new album No tribe no I, scheduled for autumn 2025, which will explore the musical bridges between West Africa, Brazil and the United States. Their live performances are driven by a boundless energy, musical precision and stage chemistry that promise to captivate listeners at every performance.
