Dado aka Frédéric Holyszewski repeatedly woos crowds and longtime fans to the beat of his new productions. These ranging from his solo projects as Deedrah, as he is known in the circuit for 15 years now, or the most recent of his bands formed little over 2 years ago, the KromeAngels, he stands to face anywhere between 5 to 30 thousand eager fans on gig!! Once in the scene in the mid 90’s, first as a self-made rock band, Vision Quest, which later dissolved, Dado met Christophe Drouillet with whom he would form the legendary group Transwave. Only 3 months later they release the first album under a small French label “Transpact”. This was only the beginning, and in only 2 years they reached mind blowing success releasing 3 albums. In ’97 Dado created QuestionMark records to establish a structure for French and international artists providing not only a label for promotion but also supporting a recording and production system. The first Deedrah album “Self-Oscillation” was released under this label. Under the QuestionMarks label he would cooperate with artists like TSUYOSHI, SUZUKI, ASTRAL PROJECTION, SID SHANTI, AVI ALGRANATI, TOTAL ECLIPSE and also remixes for THE DELTA, HALLUCINOGEN, or KILLING JOKE. As if it were not enough, Dado also created another alias SYNTHETIC initially releasing the fantastic Metalgear EP with TWISTED rds. later releasing a first album on SOLSTICE MUSIC and not the least, DANDANdDADO where the epic Diamond Dust came to life! The Dado snowball kept picking up momentum growing like an avalanche and at this moment he, together with DMT NAKOV and SERGE SOUQUE of Total Eclipse came together to form GBU (the good, the bad and the ugly ). Dado kept himself busy again , contracted by sony to composed the opening tune and sound effects of the ps2 game grand turismo 3 . Instantly making a stand, his presence soon became known through his sexy melodic beats, Dado inevitably began attracting world-wide attention to his DJ sets and Lives in destinations all over the world, gaining the opportunity to work alongside different talent which not only influenced his future but still regard him as a master in the engineering and technical aspect of music production. Loyal fans can be pleased to know that he is hard at work with new Deedrah to be released early 2010.

When I put my microphone down and picked up a camera 5 years ago all I knew was that I still wanted to make art. After 15 years of trying to make a name (and more importantly a living) for myself as a performer, I took every penny of my savings and a little help from friends and family including the girlfriend who would become my wife and bought the first in a series of Digital SLR cameras, Adobe’s Creative Suite, computers and printers and started one of Seattle’s most innovative art businesses. Fodoughgrafiks combines photography, graphic design and giclee to produce amazing, high-quality, affordable works of digital fine art. Our first shows were in the summer of 2006. I found a job at Faces Gallery where I learned to print, varnish and stretch giclee canvases. This was the “a-ha” moment. I put some canvases up at a few coffee shops around town and they sold. I did a few art walks and sold some more, Sundays at Fremont Market were good and all the while I diligently pursued a day stall permit at Pike Place Market. In February of 2008 I was invited to become the Market’s first digital artist. In the two years since I have produced a collection of images that are among the most popular in the Pacific Northwest with a client list that includes the Space Needle, Starbucks, Seattle Public Library and residencies at Oasis Gallery, Local Color Gallery and Revolution Gallery. My goal is to produce artworks containing as many of the world’s most memorialized icons as possible with the rule being that I take all the photos and design all the images and print all of my signed and/or limited editions myself. Next on my list is San Francisco and then who knows.
