Yoann Freget - Singing Wkshp, Children 3-5yo :"The Mother Earth" (DC, USA) - P2

Yoann Freget has been a singer since his childhood. At the age of fifteen he attended for the first time a concert of Gospel music with the famous singer, musician and composer Emmanuel Djob ("Black an' White Gospel singers", "By the Gospel River"), directing the "Gospelize it! Mass Choir". This was a deep spiritual and musical revelation for Yoann. A few months later he joined this Gospel Choir, which was one of the most famous Gospel choirs in Europe. Yoann performed in this group for three years, quickly became a soloist, and started to gain a deep understanding of the essence of African-American music. He really felt that though the Power of Love, this music can dissolve all the artificial barriers between human beings such as race, religion, or nationality.

Subsequently, Yoann sang in several music bands including: "BRBB", a Tribute to Otis Redding, with an orchestra of 6 musicians; the famed "Soul Travellers" band; the male Gospel quintet "Gospel Shakers"; in "Gospel Jam" he performed duets with the well-known Gospel singer Sabine Kouli ("Maezah" and "Soul Spirit"); and as a choir singer on the Marianne Aya Omac's latest album ("Ginkobiloba"), "Be my witness".

Yoann also sang as a chorist for Stevie Wonder, Liz McComb, and Helene Carter.

Since 2006 he has led his own Gospel choir "Le Choeur Enchante" and has been giving singing lessons. He has also been invited to give Gospel workshops in England, Italy, Germany and other countries, to share his vision and experience of Gospel music.

Yoann graduated in 2008 from the University of Montpellier in the field of Music Therapy. He worked intensively with teenagers suffering from autism as well as children with stammering, bringing them the joy of music and helping them overcome their condition, showing them a way to achieve self-confidence from within.

He himself found that though singing, and particularly Gospel music, he was no longer overwhelmed by the problem of stammering that he had since the age of three. The music helped him not only to become much more self confident but to gain more fluency in his speech. The improvement became even more noticeable when he discovered and started to practice meditation.

In May 2010, Yoann returned from a five-month journey throughout India where he learned Indian music and its deep spiritual roots, which elevated his art to new heights.

At the age of 23, Yoann is currently touring Canada and the United States over the course of a three-month tour, and his first album, Songs For Mother Earth, has recently been released.

The main goal of his concerts is to share the Peace and Joy that he feels inside though music and meditation, revealing a treasure that we all have inside, which just needs to be awakened.

"Love is the key that unlocks the door that leads to ultimate Reality" - Martin Luther King.
