Freddie Colloca has won serious acclaim for his catchy tunes, but it’s the unyielding passion he has for his audiences that keeps him coming back.

Freddie Colloca’s love of music all comes back to his fans. “I love to see people’s reactions when I sing the songs they love,” he says. “It’s priceless when someone hears a melody and starts crying, laughing or smiling.” Colloca is known for his contemporary pop-rock style, with tunes that offer strong melody lines and unforgettable hooks. His Christian-themed songs have also won him some serious acclaim, with a couple of nominations for the prestigious Dove Award, among others. With 7 albums already under his belt in both English and Spanish, his career is on fire. Next on the agenda is a major concert on Miami Beach in March, complete with a full band and orchestra. He also has an inspirational record in the works comprised of originals and cover tracks. “I’m going to sing songs I believe we need at this time in our lives,” he says.
