The Freddie James Project isn't just a band; it's a dynamic force of nature that turns every performance into a spectacular celebration. This high-energy, seven-piece ensemble, led by the magnetic frontman Freddie James, delivers an electrifying show that leaves audiences spellbound and craving more. Born in the musical hotbed of Chicago, Illinois, Freddie moved to Montreal, Quebec, during his childhood, where his passion for music was nurtured by his mother, singer and recording artist Geraldine Hunt.

​

Freddie’s star began to rise when he burst onto the music scene as a teenager, releasing the iconic disco anthem "Get Up and Boogie" at just 14 years old. This breakout hit not only earned him two Juno Award nominations (Canada's Grammy) in 1980—for Single of the Year and Most Promising Male Vocalist—but also solidified his place in music history as the FIRST artist to achieve gold status with a dance track in Canada. "Get Up and Boogie" was also certified gold and platinum internationally, and that same year, Freddie took home the Canadian Black Music Award for Best Album. He followed this success with the release of his album Sweetness in 1981. Freddie's talents extend beyond his own recordings; he also produced the 1982 million-selling hit "Murphy's Law" for his sister Rosalind Hunt's band, Cheri, which reached #1 on the Billboard Dance Club Songs chart.
