Freddy's Biography
Freddy Redmon was born in Titus County, Texas in the small town of Mount Pleasant. At the age of 6, he and his family moved to Tennessee, making their home in Rickman, near the town of Cookeville. The youngest boy in a family of 16 kids, he picked up a passion for music just like the rest of his brothers and sisters. At the age of 10, Freddy decided that he wanted to have music in his life. After making this decision, he started mowing lawns so he could save enough money to buy his first guitar. With the first chord strummed, he was hooked. Music became a part of his life and has been ever since.
At the age of 18, Freddy began playing on the road with different local bands and later with upcoming country artist J.C. Andersen. He has opened for artist such as Little Texas, Aaron Tippin, David Ball, Cowboy Troy, and more. Throughout his 12 years of experience, he also teaches guitar on the side and writes many songs in his spare time. In 2008, Freddy received his first endorsement by Curt Mangan strings. Curt Mangan strings have a great tone for all types of music and Freddy would highly recommend them to anyone that plays music.
In September of 2009, Freddy became married to Hannah Smith Redmon. The two make their home in Cookeville, TN today. Freddy and Hannah Redmon now have their own gospel music ministry and love to travel the world spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ! The Redmon's have two children. A boy named Van and a girl named Summer.
In February of 2014 Freddy Redmon became an ordained minister under the Body of Christ Ministry in Silver Point, TN.
Freddy's Testimony
Growing up in a large family, Freddy was exposed to both church and the ways of the world. Freddy's father was a great man with a wonderful heart but he did not attend church very often and didn't always make it a point to teach the children about The Lord. Freddy's mother on the other hand hardly missed a service. A love for God is something she instilled in all of her children. She always made sure they knew about God and had the opportunity to go to church to learn about Him. The rest was up to the child but they always had to opportunity. Today all 16 children are born again and many are active members of the churches they attend. Freddy became born again at the age of 6 along with 1 brother and 2 sisters the same day.
Throughout his life Freddy was in and out of church. Choosing the wrong path at times, like many of us do, but he always knew where his peace was.
At the age of 18, Freddy began playing country music on the road with various groups. Performing in the bars and honky-tonks, Freddy was exposed to the ways of the world and it became part of his lifestyle for many years.
In 2009, while living in Murfreesboro Tennessee, The Lord began talking to Freddy and making him see that he was using his gifting of music all wrong. He quickly realized that The Lord did not give him the ability to sing, play instruments, and write songs to please man, but He did gift him with these talents to glorify God and to bring others to Him. From that day forward, though there has been some set backs, Freddy has lived life differently. Focusing more on living for Jesus rather than himself. Freddy no longer plays country music or embraces the lifestyle that often times comes with that.
Freddy is now married and has two small children and is doing his best to make sure his family is living for God and being a light to those around them.
"It is my goal to reach as many people as possible with my music ministry. I want to go everywhere spreading the good news of Jesus Christ. I know what an impact The Lord has made on my life and I want to see others being impacted as well! None of us have it all together and I believe God wants his children to see that you can overcome your obstacles in life and that he is always going to be there to pick you up and put your feet on a solid rock. I know what The Lord has done for me and I want to share my experiences with other to encourage everyone to not give up but to keep striving for Jesus, He is what really matters in life!"
