Anthony Fedorov

Anthony Fedorov was a contestant on the fourth season of Fox's American Idol. Born in Ukraine, the now tri-lingual singer suffered from breathing complications that led to a tracheotomy at an extremely young age, and doctors predicted Anthony would lose all ability to speak, let alone sing. But after a miraculous recovery, he regained the use of his voice and throughout his teens he could be found shuttling between Pennsylvania and New York City, singing whenever and wherever he had the opportunity.
