Former Idol Anthony Fedorov will be attending Idol Camp for a week this summer!!

He looks forward to sharing his experiences and giving great tips on performing. Anthony appeared on season four of "American Idol" where he placed in the Top 4. Here are some fun facts about this talented singer who has overcome some significant obstacles in his life already:

• Anthony was born with a birth defect in his windpipe. He was given a tracheotomy as a toddler and the doctor said that he would never be able to talk again. Instead, Anthony persevered and started singing at an early age!!
• Anthony enjoys writing his own music. He writes about love, dreams, heartaches, or just life in general.
• His favorite singer is Marc Anthony. For inspiration before a performance, he listens to Marc's music!
• His favorite website is ESPN, Anthony loves sports! He also checks his fan club site a lot.
• Anthony's fave junk food is French fries.
• Anthony's most prized possession is a picture of his family when his brother was still alive. It represents to him the ultimate memory of euphoria and happiness.

Check out "Deep Within My Heart," one of Anthony's newly recorded songs and original compositions. When he is not busy performing, Fedorov spends a lot of time and energy on causes that are important to him. Anthony lost his brother last year at the early age of 28 to Sarcoma cancer. This event led him to help raise money for the Sarcoma Foundation of America (SFA). For more information, you can visit www.curesarcoma.org.
