Frédéric Strzelczyk is a professional firefighter and singer. After a heart attack, he decided to release his first record, and is now collecting funds for associations with his group.

With their 80s new wave music, Fred and Davide found an audience. In recent years, they have scoured European festivals. It all started with a CD, which they recorded when Fred almost lost his life. “The accident rushed things. To leave this little trace. (…) When it came out, it quickly ended up on the radio, local radio stations, and quickly a proposal for a concert in Belgium”recount Frédéric Strzelczyk, firefighter and bassist of the group Dageist.

Help associations

It was his fellow firefighters who revived him during training. Since then, he has remained in his barracks. Today, he no longer has the right to go out in operation. With Dageist, he likes to show generosity, and sometimes reserves part of his fees for associations. The group will soon release a 45 rpm maxi, and will be on stage for the next few weeks.
