Early life
editFredericks was born to Kirsten L. and Carl F. Fredericks on March 31, 1999, in Newtown, Connecticut, the youngest of three brothers.[1] At age eight, his family moved to an 88-acre farm near Fultonville, New York.[2] He was home-schooled using the Unschooling method.[3]
At age 11, Fredericks received voice training[4] and began performing regionally at farmers markets, open mics, community events, and folk clubs (such as The Bitter End in New York City).[5] He was a finalist in the Young Artist Talent Search in Pawling, New York in 2012.[6]
Career
editFirst recordings
editIn 2012, Fredericks recorded a demo of six original songs, entitled Breaking Ice.[1] On June 4, 2013, he independently released his first studio album, Out My Window, consisting of 15 original tracks.
The Voice (2015)
editFrom February to May 2015, Fredericks competed on the 8th season of The Voice. Talent scouts from the show invited him to participate in pre-show auditions after noticing YouTube videos of his singing.[7] On his televised blind audition he sang "I'm a Man of Constant Sorrow", a traditional folksong he had earlier adapted to perform while busking.[8] Coaches Adam Levine, Pharrell Williams, and Christina Aguilera turned their chairs around within ten seconds, and Blake Shelton joined them 40 seconds later. Fredericks chose Williams as his coach.[9]
In his Battle round, Fredericks teamed up with Noelle Bybee to sing Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Have You Ever Seen the Rain" and was chosen by Williams to advance. In his Knockout round, Fredericks sang in a three-way match with Mia Z. and Paul Pfau, after Anthony Riley withdrew from the competition. Fredericks' performance of Howie Day's "Collide" earned him (along with Mia Z.) an advance into the Top 20.
In the Playoff rounds, Fredericks advanced to the Top 12 covering Ray LaMontagne's "Trouble", and to the Top 10 with John Lennon's "Imagine". Falsetto notes in the latter presented a challenge to Fredericks, whose voice was changing.[10] He received the first iTunes Singles Chart top 10 multiplier bonus of the competition with "Imagine", reaching the second position by the close of the voting window.[11] He advanced to the Top Eight with Goo Goo Dolls' "Iris" (reaching the fourth position on iTunes, edged out by Koryn Hawthorne at third),[12] and to the Top Six with Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Simple Man" (reaching the second position on iTunes).[13]
In the Top Six, Fredericks performed Al Green's "Take Me to the River" (reaching the tenth position on iTunes), featuring an energetic teen dance troupe surrounding the more reserved singer. For his Mother's Day dedication song, Fredericks was allowed in a rare move by The Voice, to choose a song which hadn't been released by a major label, May Erlewine's "Shine On". In a further twist, Erlewine revealed that while giving permission for use of the song, she was nevertheless a strong backer of The Voice competitor Joshua Davis.[14] "Shine On" rose to the third position on iTunes, the highest rated song on The Voice that week.[15] The day after the Top Six results show, he returned to New York for a homecoming visit, participating in a parade and performance of three songs before over 4,000 people at Fonda Speedway (Fultonville, New York), and an evening concert at the Palace Theatre.[16]
In the Top Five, Fredericks' covers of Christina Perri's "A Thousand Years" and Buffalo Springfield's "For What It's Worth" both garnered him the highest ratings of the week, reaching the second and third positions on iTunes, respectively.[17]
For the May 18, 2015, finale show, Fredericks released the single "Please" (an original song written by Ray LaMontagne) and an accompanying music video.[18] For his duet selection, Fredericks and Williams performed the Seals and Crofts tune "Summer Breeze". The show ended with Fredericks' cover of Neil Young's "Old Man". By noon the next day, "Summer Breeze" had reached the nineteenth position on iTunes, "Old Man" the third, and "Please" the second.[19]
On the May 19, 2015, results show, Fredericks shared the stage with John Fogerty in a medley of Creedence Clearwater Revival hits — "Born on the Bayou", "Bad Moon Rising" and "Have You Ever Seen the Rain?". Apparent audio problems affected the broadcast.[20] Fredericks was declared the winner at the end of the show,[21] with Meghan Linsey second, Joshua Davis third, and Koryn Hawthorne fourth. Winning contestants receive $100,000 and a recording contract with Republic Records.
According to Republic, Fredericks broke many series sales records for The Voice, with ten singles reaching the iTunes top 10, and 14 singles charting in the Top 200 during the final week. A total of nearly one million digital singles were sold in the course of the show.[22] Throughout the competition Fredericks maintained a strong social media presence, with leading numbers of followers on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.[23]
At age 16, Fredericks became the youngest person to win The Voice;[21] previously, the youngest winner had been Danielle Bradbery in Season 4.[24] His record would later be surpassed by Brynn Cartelli, who won Season 14 at age 15. Later in 2020, Carter Rubin who won Season 19 at age of 15.[25]

He opened for A Great Big World at the famed Troubadour in West Hollywood, California, on November 6, 2015.[28] Fredericks released his first EP, self-titled "Sawyer Fredericks," on November 28, 2015, which reached #2 on the Billboard Folk chart.[29] He then opened for Good Old War for three shows (in Boston, New York, and Philadelphia) in December, 2015.[30]
Fredericks started 2016 by opening for Langhorne Slim & The Law at four shows on the US West Coast.[31] In February, his video for the single "Take It All" was released[32] and he debuted his newly formed band at the Towne Crier in Beacon, New York.

I dig!"[39] "A Good Storm" saw Fredericks in collaboration with producers Dan Romer, Saul Simon MacWilliams, Mikal Blue, Johan "Izy" Lindbrandt, Jamie Hartman, Jayson Dezuzio, and Pharrell Williams, as well as co-writers Dan Romer, Saul Simon MacWilliams, Dave Bassett, Mikal Blue, Johan "Izy" Lindbrandt, Shari Short, Jamie Hartman, Jayson Dezuzio, Whitney Phillips, Tara Lee, and Foy Vance.[40]
Fredericks completed a US tour to support "A Good Storm" with 49 shows across the US, from May through September, 2016.[31][41] On October 8, 2016, he sang the National Anthem and performed at the Patriot Awards Gala at the Medal of Honor Convention in Minneapolis, MN.[42] Olivia Millerschin and Fredericks recorded a duet of her song "When," which was released on her album "Look Both Ways" on September 23, 2016.[43] In November 2016, Fredericks announced a December "Winter Storm Tour" to 12 cities in the Eastern US with guests Mia Z. and Gabriel Wolfchild & The Northern Light.[44]

2019–present: Flowers for You and touring
editOn May 1, 2020, Fredericks released his album Flowers for You.[56] Due to COVID-19 pandemic restrictions, he and his band refrained from live touring to support the album until Fall 2021, when he embarked on a tour from Michigan to the East Coast and Southeast US with co-headliners The Accidentals, who had contributed strings to two songs on Flowers for You: "Lies You Tell" and "Days Go By".[57][58]
