Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Slama started his career in France but lived in L.A. for more than 10 years where he became friend with many famous artists & studio players. After releasing a couple of solo albums in the 80\u2019s, Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric decided to start a \u201cone man band\u201d. This marked the birth of his project AOR, always using the cream of U.S session players. In 2000, the first album \u00ab L.A Concession \u00bb was released and gave Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric a big respect in the Westcoast \/ AOR music scene. The second album \u00ab Next Stop L.A \u00bb was released one year later and again featured the help of several top session players.
It was in 2002 that Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric took AOR to a new dimension with the critically acclaimed third album \u00ab L.A Reflection \u00bb, which was considered to be the best Westcoast CD of the year by many journalists and fans alike. It featured all the big names in\u00a0 the music industry including Steve Lukather, Mike Porcaro, Jeff Porcaro, David Paich (all Toto members) and a line up of stars like Tommy Denander, G\u00f6ran Edman, Michael Landau, Vinnie Colaiuta, Michael Ruff, Bruce Gaitsch, Rick Riso and lots of other top L.A. artists. The album became a huge success and was co-produced by AOR-legend Tommy Denander and world famous L.A. producer David Diggs.<\/p>\n

In 2003, Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Slama was back with another great CD, which again featured the best musicians any Westcoast and melodic rock fan could possibly imagine : Bill Champlin (Chicago), Steve Overland (FM), Steve Lukather (Toto), Michael Landau, Bruce Gaitsch, Brandon Fields among many others and two Westcoast legends who hadn’t recorded anything for over 20 years: David Roberts & Dane Donohue! This album was called \u00ab Dreaming Of L.A \u00bb and again co-produced by Tommy Denander and David Diggs.<\/p>\n

In 2004, Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric released \u00ab Nothing But The Best \u00bb, an album featuring the best songs from his previous Cd\u2019s, fully remastered by Tommy Denander plus 3 brand new unreleased tracks featuring Fergie Frederiksen (Toto) and Dane Donohue on lead vocals. During the next years until present AOR put out more successful albums including \u00ab L.A. Attraction \u00bb (2006),\u00a0 \u00ab L.A Concession (re-release, 2006), \u00ab Journey To L.A \u00bb (2009), \u00ab L.A Ambition \u00bb (2-CD, 2010) and \u00abThe Colors Of L.A \u00bb (2012) The same year, Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric took time to write & produce \u00ab Outside Heaven \u00bb the 1st album of a new band called Chasing Violets, two sisters singing with the cream of the Melodic Rock world.<\/p>\n

In September 2012, Yesterrock re-released the rare, sought after albums \u00ab L.A Reflection \u00bb (plus 4 bonus tracks) and \u00ab Dreaming Of L.A \u00bb (plus 6 bonus tracks). Both CD\u2019s were remastered.<\/p>\n

Now Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Slama\u2019 s AOR project is back with a new album called \u00ab L.A Temptation \u00bb, featuring an impressive list of guests\u00a0 such as Tommy Denander, Paul Sabu, James Christian (House Of Lords), Philip Bardowell (Unruly Child), Jerry Hludzik (Dakota), G\u00f6ran Edman (Crossfade), Chris Ousey (Heartland, Virginia Wolf), Paul Shortino (Rough Cutt, Quiet Riot), Hank Erix (Houston), Joey Summer, Rick Riso, Michael Landau, Mike Baird, Christian Tolle, Bruce Gaitsch, Alessandro Del Vecchio & all Lionville members & many more. For this 11th album, the sound is heavier than before and the first class production will make you shiver.
