00:00 Hi, my name is Fred Lynn Marenti, I'm an 18 year old singer-songwriter, artist and I am
00:05 here at the Leeds Playhouse hosting my very first show, Fred Lynn's First Steps.
00:10 And how does it feel? Are you excited about coming to Leeds?
00:13 Absolutely excited that we get to host this wonderful concert in Leeds Playhouse with
00:17 a mix of dancers, performers, artists from Leeds and across Yorkshire and yeah, come
00:23 down it's going to be an absolutely fun time and exciting moment.
00:26 So as part of the show you'll come down and see dancers, live music, rap music, salsa,
00:33 jazz and yeah, a whole plethora of everything.
00:37 So growing up I was the son of an apostle and so having a church I was always around
00:43 musicians and always next to musicians trying to engage, trying to get an understanding
00:48 of music and so had an early interest and passion for music and when I came to Leeds
00:54 that didn't change and in fact that kind of just kept on going and kept on growing and
01:00 so here I am pursuing my passion for music, having my very first show, Fred Lynn's First
01:04 Steps.
01:05 So this year I performed at Leeds West Indian Carnival with my band Caribbean T and yeah,
01:11 it was an absolute honour performing main stage for the Leeds West Indian Carnival and
01:15 it was a phenomenal experience that I really, really thoroughly enjoyed.
