Fredi, born as Matti Kalevi Siitonen (23 July 1942 in Mikkeli, Finland), is a Finnish comedic actor, musician, singer/songwriter and television presenter. Domestically he is best known as a founding member of the comedic variety ensemble Kivikasvot. Siitonen chose his stage name, Fredi, after a TV cartoon character, Fred Flintstone from "The Flintstones". In 1965 he recorded his first song, "Roskisdyykkarin Balladi" as Folk Fredi. A year later he dropped the Folk name and was simply known as Fredi. Internationally he represented his country at the Eurovision Song Contest 1967 in Vienna, Austria with the song "Varjoon - suojaan" ("To the Shadow – To the Safety"), which received three points and finished 12th of 17 entries. He is also the husband of the former mayor of Helsinki, Eva-Riitta Siitonen. They were married in 1969 and on November 13, 1970, Eva-Riitta gave birth to Hanna-Riikka Siitonen, who is a singer and actress. Fredi is also the stepfather of Petri, Eva-Riitta's son from a previous relationship.
In 1969, Fredi released his self-titled debut album, Fredi. It is a compilation of songs that he released from 1965 to 1969. The songs include "Varjoon Suojaan," which he performed at the 1967 Eurovision Song Contest, as well as "Milloinkaan en löydä samanlaista," a Finnish cover of Engelbert Humperdinck's "Living without Love". It also includes several romantic ballads like "Roskisdyykkarin Balladi" and "Kolmatta Linjaa Takaisin" (Original: Beautiful in the Rain by Tony Hatch and Jackie Trent).
The alcohol on your breath burned like acid through my lips. It left a scar, a souvenir of a night I would rather forget. Hear that sound? Those are the footsteps of the skeletons that just broke down your closet door. I think they'd like a word with you, and they don't look too happy. [Call me paranoid, but I can see fingerprints from every hand that's touched your skin. Call me paranoid. ] Truth is the best weapon at your disposal, but it's the only one that you never use. Contrary to what you'd normally expect, I'm not here to save you from some unseen force that only turns out to be yourself in the end. No. My only intentions are to make all this easier for me. I speak with self-righteous tones, paranoid.
