Charles F. Huot (born May 13, 1981) is a Montreal-based Canadian producer and songwriter best known by the stage name Dear Frederic.
The live band consists of drummer Julien Blais (Coeur de Pirate), multi-instrumentalist Danny Lutz and Huot singing and playing guitar and synth.[1]
In April 2014, Huot released on Montreal based label Cult Nation his first EP, Outlast. The sound of these five tracks moves away from his former band Winter Gloves' pop-rock sound and explores the '80's synthpop era.[2]
For his single "Outlast", the singer partnered up with musician and producer Tim Buron (Tork) and Husser (The Posterz) for a remix which is part of a Coke Zero advertisement: City of Possibilities. The ad aired on Mexican television and in a digital version on YouTube. Music from the EP was also used in Killjoys.
