Freddy Mitchell / The Freddy Mitchell Euphoria: American composer / musician, singer, lead guitarist and keyboardist, Born September 18th, 1958 in Toledo, Ohio. Influenced by British progressive rock, Freddy etched a name for himself performing for decades primarily in North West Ohio, and central and south Florida.

His first album, "Above and Below" (1984 Rockin' Panda Records) was added to many radio stations play lists. It is now considered a rare collectable, it fetches prices overseas for as high as $275.00 USD. That recording established Freddy as a versatile lead guitarist and lyricist. Freddy and his band became an integral part of the south Florida music scene in the mid 1980’s.

His second CD, "Fallen Moons" (1998 Celestial Blues Entertainment / Manufactured by Sony), had diverse musical genres and magical production. (Mixed by Grammy award nominee Andy de Ganahl.) The singles "Rebel Kings" and "The Hidden" were put on rotation on many US rock stations. In the late 1990’s The Freddy Mitchell Euphoria opened for acts as diverse as Kansas and Steppenwolf.

Freddy's third CD, "Animator" (2005 Celestial Rock Entertainment) with its powerful guitar riffs, had a neo-classical and an Eastern feel resulting from his use of exotic scales and modes. "Animator" included the singles:        "Time Waits for No One" and "The Lotus".

Freddy was featured in Guitar Player Magazine in September 2005 and in 20th Century Guitar Magazine in April 2006. He signed two publishing contracts in 2006, the first with AMI and the second with TouchTunes, (http://www.mytouchtunes.com/artist/84406/freddy-mitchell-euphoria-the.html).
