Frederik Doci

From the land of eagles, a new and powerful voice takes flight. Frederik Doci (Ndoci) is an Italian/Albanian hailing from the lakes and mountains of Albania's historic Shkodra. Doci has electrified the stage all over the world with the voice of Caruso, the heart of Elvis and the soul of a gypsy. He represented his country at Eurovision 2007 in Helsinki, Finland. He not only scales the operatic heights of his deep baritone and enchanting tenor range, but he can also switch to a more pop friendly sensual romantic voice.

What sets Frederik apart from the other opera stars and crooners is his versatility as a multi-instrumentalist, a philosopher, and an accomplished songwriter. On Frederik's 4th CD, Canterina, he not only performs songs in 6 different languages, but more importantly, he sings the language of love and passion.

After a brief career in acting (refer to IMDB under Ndoci), Frederik left the silver screen to record his debut with the group Pagina d'Album. The album Canta Frederik was well-received in Italy. Frederik's second album Sono Gitano made significant inroads when it became a popular seller in Italy. His third project was commissioned by the Christian College Heritage in San Diego and was titled Frederik and Friends.

Frederik's double CD, Canterina, features songs in English as well as Spanish, Italian, Greek, French and Albanian. On the original song All the Love in the World, he sings I Love You in eight languages. The album captures all of Frederik's influences: classical, ethnic folk, Neapolitan, Latin, pop, and rock. The album was produced by George A. Gesner and recorded in New York City with renown programmer/sound designer Harold Stephan (Amelia's Dream) plus an international all-star cast of musicians. The project was mixed by Miklos Malek and mastered at Sterling Sound with Tom Coyne.

Frederik's rendition of Return to Me is also featured on the highly acclaimed October Project tribute CD. The tracks Malaguena Salerosa and Falling in Love Again received extensive radio play worldwide. The track Corazon de Cristal was a Top 5 finalist for Latin Song in the 6th Annual Independent Music Awards. Canterina is also licensed in Asia through Top2 Music in Singapore.
