Introduction
Marvin Winston Bailey, better known by his stage name Fredo, is a British rapper, singer and songwriter from Queen's Park, London. He had a UK number-one single in 2018, with fellow rapper Dave, called "Funky Friday".
Fredo released his first track "They Ain't 100" in March 2016. Three weeks later he went to prison, on a charge he later beat. While he was there the track gained popularity, with radio play and millions of views. Inspired by its success, and despite a second stint in prison, he persisted in his newfound rapping and recording career, releasing two mixtapes, Get Rich Or Get Recalled in 2017, and in 2018 Tables Turn, which reached the Top 10 in the album charts. He also appeared as a featured artist on tracks by Kojo Funds and Young T & Bugsy as well as on Dave's hit 2018 single "Funky Friday".
Fredo's first full-length album, Third Avenue, was released 1 February 2019. Produced mostly by JB, it marked Fredo's debut on RCA's Since '93 imprint. It included "Love You For That," a track dedicated to his mother and apologizing for not being the perfect son.
The album takes its title from Fredo's time living on Third Avenue when he was younger. Now based in Chelsea, he grew up in the Mozart Estate in London's Queen's Park and in Hertfordshire.
