Deedrah

Frédéric Holyszewski, also known as Dado and Deedrah, was raised in a family of musicians, began studying music at the age of five, finding inspiration in electronic music legends such as Jean Michel Jarre and Depeche Mode. His first musical foray was with the rock band Vision Quest, which disbanded in 1990. Soon after, he teamed up with Christophe Drouillet (Absolum) on a French wave and formed the goa trance act Transwave. It took the duo just three months to complete their first EP. Over the next two years, they released two albums (Helium and Phototropic) and toured the world, achieving considerable success in the psychedelic trance and scoring an international hit with the track "Land of Freedom". Following this, Dado released his first solo album in 1997, Self Oscillation, under the name Deedrah, which became his first divergence from the psychedelic goa trance genre. In the years that followed, Frédéric would work under a variety of pseudonyms, including Cypher, Dado and Synthetic (FR). Future projects include collaborations with trance legends like Tsuyoshi Suzuki (Tokio Drome), Astral Projection (Trust in Trance), The Antidote and Dimitri Nakov (The Good, The Bad & The Ugly), and most recently Shanti Matkin (Shanti V Deedrah), who has taken him on tours around the world playing with his various projects. Dado produced his second album still in 2001, the opus "Reload", followed by three more albums, Body & Soul (2003), Out Of Control (2012), and Vertigo (2014).
