After leaping onto the scene as a fresh-faced 19-year-old back in May 2024, Freddie Halkon is quickly becoming one of the UK’s most exciting up-and-coming artists. Fuelled by an infectious mix of classic indie and pop songwriting, his debut run of shows sold out in under an hour, leaving many wondering what’s next…
With the backing of mates The Reytons, Freddie’s ready to take things to the next level. A busy year awaits in 2025, as the young singer-songwriter reveals a string of highly-anticipated dates across the length and breadth of the country, followed by a wide range of major UK festival appearances. As his music continues to make waves, Freddie Halkon is on track to become one of the freshest voices in indie.
Born in Doncaster and raised in the Isle of Axholme, Freddie transcends genres with a catalogue spanning traditional indie guitar anthems to acoustic, string driven ballads, all with lyrics that cut through to the core. His breakout single, “Come Around Again,” captured the youthful summer vibe while showcasing his knack for writing songs that stick with you. “Girl In The Smoking Area” once again showed the prowess, laden with hooks and themes surrounding jealousy. The latest single, ‘Room 26’, explores the feelings of loss, grief and an inability to accept a harsh reality. A series of strings set the mood, providing a foundation for a driving acoustic guitar that frames the young singer-songwriter’s poignant lyrics perfectly.
In terms of live, Freddie has a clear passion for getting a crowd going, whilst still remaining humble and genuinely grateful to be able to entertain the masses onstage. It’s this genuine personality that has found him so many fans so quickly.
With a lot more to come in the next 12 months, Freddie Halkon is one to really keep an eye on.
