Well deserved Freddie congrats. keep up the good work I am looking forward to my drink from that check.
Two well deserved individuals
congrats freedie, well deserved
Mr. Fred Nicholas, well done, praises and all accolades to you on this well deserved merit and recognition of your talents and reward to culturally dedicated Dominica.
Just one observation, please clean up your chin hairstyle, even if it`s Rasta style, but can be better designed and styled. Come man, raise your profile, you are a star and role model to all our young musicians and people. You look worried and out of decorum. Get a manager and someone able to uplift your visible profile where our incoming young artistes can see you as this advantages role model to them. We desperately need role models in art (you) politics (Skerrit is this failure), but Hon. Lennox Linton is up there high as this professional politician and committed Dominica that we the people will trust and support him, UWP once in government. Fred you are in the musical art, so you have that role to play to our youth, who many of them are from poor homes seeking help to elevate themselves to higher heights. Thanks
I have briefly met Mr. Nicholas and I am inspired by him. I do know some of his children and I can tell he raised them well. I also met his grandson who is so impressive for someone so young. So I can guarantee that despite your judgemental comment on his appearance, he is an inspiration and role model. And as a young person who will be voting for the first time… if u are any indication of the kind of people uwp followers are, then I can certainly tell u that u are no role model. When u judge someone by their appearance it doesn’t define them….it defines you. My mother taught me that. I was rooting for uwp and u changed my mind. Why would you even bring politics in this. It made you sound stupid.
