Anthony Fedorov Live on Game Changers with Vicki Abelson

I’m still smiling and I’m not sure I’m gonna stop any time soon. What a blast I had with American Idol finalist Anthony Fedorov. It’s been a minute since last we met and Anthony is even more spectacular than I remembered.

He opened the show with That Someone, his new song from his new musical, Proud Marys. I loved it! Can’t wait till Sunday when he does it in person at his long-awaited return engagement at the Catalina Bar & Grill. In LA? Please join me! https://bit.ly/3LkJTusHey

We talked Anthony’s early childhood in Russia, his scary, years-long medical situation, hoping to talk, let alone sing… and for a living… to worldwide acclaim… crazy! The trauma of getting out of the country and then getting to the USA sans English. The obstacles Anthony has overcome in his young life are astounding, his accomplishments are as well.

We talked the American Idol journey, Simon’s advice that changed his life and career, meeting his Idol, Marc Anthony, barely noticing J.Lo, Ellen, or Mariah Carey. Great story! And, the aftermath which led him to the theatre, something he’d never considered, but where he spent the next many years and thrived from off-Broadway in The Fantastics to most recently in Love Actually Live at The Wallis in Beverly Hills. How the hell did I miss that?

We talked about the three, count ‘em three musicals Anthony has in various stages of development. Artist, activist, singer/songwriter, dad, and lovely human, everything Anthony does is with intention to impact positive change in the world.

Anthony closed with his first monster hit song, I Poop, inspired by fatherhood and a diaper changing. Another great story! It’s garnered over 22 million streams to date. Not counting the 20+ I’ve added in the last hour. Tell Alexa to play it for fun and… well, it’s paying the rent!

Anthony has the voice of an angel and writes killer pop/rock songs with lyrics that are socially and politically important. He’s a beautiful man to behold, hear, and hold dear. And damn, he’s sweet and fun! Hope to share the Fedorov experience with y’all on Sunday at the Catalina Bar & Grill.

*** TODAY LIVE - AT OUR USUAL TIME - 5 PM PT, 8PM ET ****

I confess. I was an American Idol junkie. I didn't come to it willingly. I eavesdropped on season 1 as it became church for young Harry and Samantha. By season 2, I was converted. Hallelujah! By the time season 4 rolled around, I was a fanatic. I loved Constantine Maroulis, Bo Bice, and young Anthony Fedorov. Anthony's story made his every victory that much sweeter. Anthony had a tracheotomy as a toddler and there was skepticism he'd ever talk again. Say what?!? He's got one of the purest, most beautiful voices I've ever heard. His versions of Every Time You Go Away and If You Don't Know Me by Now, for two, KILLED me. Anthony went on to star in the Off-Broadway production of The Fantastics and starred in Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Hairspray, Cinderella, Les Miserables, The Sound of Music, and most recently, Love Actually Live at The Wallis in Beverly Hills, to name a few.

Inspired by his journey as a father, Anthony released an indie children’s album, “Every Little Thing,” which includes the hit single “I Poop,” which has reached over 16 million streams. Love it!

Anthony is currently writing and developing three original musical shows Hashtag America with a book by Nik Walker (Broadway’s Hamilton) and co-lyricist Kyle Carter (Disney’s The Lion King tour) and the TV pilot Proud Marys written by Jennifer Paz, (Peabody, GLAAD Media, and Emmy Award-winning Steven Universe) Winner of the inaugural Outstanding Screenplays TV Pilot Competition, and was a top selection with Peabody Award and WGA Award-Winning writer/producer Susan Soon He Stanton (HBO’S SUCCESSION,) and Super Learnies, a children’s television show which focuses on the emotional and social development of young kids.

Artist, activist, singer/songwriter, dad, lovely human, we'll be talking about it all, and his hopes to continue to impact positive change in our world. And, he'll be singing some. Live. Hell yeahs.

In LA, catch Anthony Live in concert at The Catalina Bar & Grill, this Sunday, Sept 17th at 7:30 PM. For tickets: https://bit.ly/3LkJTus
