Big FreediaPiano, sbor, tanec a nakonec rap. Freddie Ross se narodila v New Orleans a od malička byla vedena k hudbě. Zatímco lokálně už byla Big Freedia známá na začátku milénia, v roce 2005 pomáhala s návratem kultury do hurikánem poničeného města, do povědomí zbytku Spojených států se dostala na přelomu let 2009 a 2010. Skutečný zlom ale přišel o půl dekády později, kdy její hlas zazněl v dnes už kultovním videoklipu Formation od Beyoncé. Zpěvačka využila jedinečný hlas také pro úvod svého světového turné. Spolupráce hudebních osobností vyvrcholila singlem Break My Soul, který byl oceněn Grammy. Big Freedia figuruje také v hitech Nice For What od Drakea nebo Raising Hell od Keshy. Big Freedia přiveze do Ostravy nejen svůj ikonický hlas a talent, který jí dovoluje užívat titul Queen of Bounce, ale také silnou výpověď postavenou na gospelu. Právě k němu se hudebnice obrátila na aktuálním albu Pressing Onward. Vznik iniciovala smutná událost, kdy na jaře podlehl následkům cukrovky Freediin dlouholetý přítel Devon Hurst. Nakažlivá energie, kterou obdivují fanoušci po celém světě, v létě premiérově představí Dolním Vítkovicím také neopakovatelné spojení. Viva la Queen Diva!
