Well, I'm Swedish (I live in Gävle, Sweden), I'm 25 years old, and I've made a bunch of YouTube videos. Full name is Fredrik Larsson, but as of now I call myself FreddeGredde.

Computer: Custom-built PC (Windows 7)
Audio: Cakewalk Sonar (Guitar Rig 4, lots of VST's)
Video: Adobe Premiere (and Avidemux)
Video camera: Canon EOS 550D (I borrowed different ones at first, then a Kodak Zi8 during 2009-2011)
Electric guitar: Ibanez s680fm (bought in 2008)
Classical guitar: Valencia CG180CE (bought in 2007)
Bass guitar: Yamaha RBX374 (bought in 2009)
Keyboard: Korg K61 (bought in 2008)
Microphones: Several, but an sE X1 more frequently than the others.
The Rest: Um, Clarke tin whistle (cheap thing), green plastic kazoo (gift from a friend), red Granesso button accordion (I inherited it), Lee Oskar harmonica (gift from grandpa), I can't find more info on these things.

Most decent video editing programs can add several video tracks to the time-line. (Like Adobe Premiere, Sony Vegas, Final Cut Pro etc.) So, you just upload all the videos you want to have on screen at the same time, use a chroma key tool, which is used to make a certain shade of color transparent. And with a bit of skill, you can filter everything except the person you want to stay on screen. :)

Well, a friend started calling me Freddegredde for some reason, most likely because Fredde (the name everyone calls me in Sweden) rhymes with grädde (which means cream, the FOOD cream, nothing else). So, it basically means Freddie Cream, hehe. It's just a unique name that is uncool in a mature way, so to speak!

No, sorry. I've got enough plans and projects to work on anyway, and I wanna focus on those when I've got time/inspiration to work with music!

Honestly no, not at this moment. I like composing and arranging, coming up with ideas, but I don't really like playing the same thing again and again. That's why putting videos on YouTube is perfect for me! (But if I'd get an offer to perform for lots of money, I'd probably do it.)

That kind of depends what counts as "play". The only instruments I'm really comfortable with (and can play "anything" on and improvise with) are keyboards and guitar. But when I need to learn a simple melody, I could probably learn it on any instrument. It's just about practice. (The violin is really hard to sound good on though!)
So okay, um, I can "play" drums, bass guitar, all kinds of guitars, keyboards, accordion, some harmonica, some flutes and water glasses! Maybe I'm forgetting something.

Haha, I really wouldn't say that I'm a star. I'm just a normal guy with a couple of popular YouTube videos. ^^ I've been recognized on the streets 4-5 times though! Interestingly enough, one of them was in NYC, so that was pretty cool. :)
And nope, no other job at the moment, because I'm working full time with my debut album!

Well yes, of course. Especially thanks to knowing music theory. All instruments work the same way, are using the same 12 notes etc, so if you know how to pick a chord on one instrument, you also know how to do it on others.

First of all, I never play guitar and keyboard just to practice anymore. It's when I've decided what to play in a new video or in a song, that I start practicing those specific things, and that's usually 20-60 minutes at a time, a couple of times per day, for a week or so, depending on how difficult it is. And when composing, I'm basically learning while deciding how to play things.
I don't really know when I started playing. I've never taken lessons or anything, so I've gradually become better and better since I was a kid. We had a piano in our house at some point, so that's probably when I started playing a bit. And I got my first guitar when I was 14 years old. So, at least ten years for both.

Nope, not at all! I've no idea how people can hear one single note and determine if it's a C, C# or D, for example. I need some sort of context to figure things out.
And I don't know if I would call myself a natural talent, honestly. I've been practicing really hard, and I'm working hundreds of hours to be able to play and sing the things I do in my videos.

Well, I easily like progressive rock the most, because it has lots of variation and interesting ideas, compared to most other genres. Some of my favorite bands are:
A.C.T, Ajalon, Beardfish, Devin Townsend, Discipline, Dream Theater, Echolyn, Genesis, Glass Hammer, Hiromi Uehara, IQ, Jethro Tull, Kansas, Karmakanic, Liquid Tension Experiment, Magenta, Muse, Neal Morse, Opeth, Pain of Salvation, Porcupine Tree, Queen, Rush, Sieges Even, Spock's Beard, Symphony X, System of a Down, The Beatles, The Flower Kings, The Mars Volta, Transatlantic, Yes and Änglagård.

Well, I really like Nintendo games the most, but I rarely play new games these days. But when it happens, it's usually multiplayer games like New Super Mario Bros. Wii and Super Smash Bros. Brawl with friends. Last single player game I played was Portal 2.

The thing is, I never wrote what I thought about the books I've read (which I do with everything else), so now I don't remember anything! My memory really sucks... I know that I really liked "A Thousand Splendid Suns" though, and the Swedish "Millenium Trilogy" was better than expected. But I've enjoyed lots of books from all genres. I just don't remember. :S

Ouch, that's impossible to say, because there are so many good ones. But uh, some random ones I come to think of:
Apocalypto, Vanilla Sky, Kill Bill 1, Wall-E, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Seven Pounds, The Reader, The Wrestler, Pleasantville, Titanic, Definitely Maybe, Casino Royal, The Air I Breathe, Reservoir Dogs, The Iron Giant, Finding Nemo, Sweeney Todd, 3.10 to Yuma, No Country For Old Men, Little Children, The Holiday, The Green Mile, The Butterfly Effect and The Jacket.

Lost is undoubtedly number one for me. :) Dexter is probably second. Hmm.. I like comedy shows too, but it's so hard to compare them.. Blah, I don't know! I like lots of things.

179 cm. (5'10½" supposedly.)

On the internet, sure. Hmm.. Basically never in real life. Well okay, sometimes, but not by strangers. :P

Nope.

Hehe.. Nope, not that either. :P (I am straight though, if you need to know.)

Well.. Because I'm not in love with anyone.

Uh. Actually I don't know, no one has tried to tickle me there for years!! And it's just not the same when you tickle yourself, so I can't answer your question. I'm sorry!

I'm really scared of getting things in my eyes (and still, I always manage to get things in them, like elbows, or potato chips), so, I'd prefer option number 2!

Of course I can. (I would die though.)

Well, I obviously speak Swedish and English. I also speak French, although I rarely use it, so it's getting rustier and rustier. And yeah, that's kind of it! (Although I understand a bit of some other languages, like Spanish and Norwegian, but that doesn't count.) As for the different languages I sing in my videos, I just mimick the originals. I don't know Romanian or Japanese. :)
Me and my family were traveling a lot when I was young, so I've visited lots of countries. But, The US, Canada, most of western and southern Europe, and some north African countries. Basically.

Yes, here's the official FreddeGredde page!

Nope.

Well, to be signed, I'd need enough original songs to make an album. And I don't have that.
Update: Actually I have that now, because my debut album is almost finished! So we'll see if any label will want to distribute it when it's completed..
Update 2: Okay, so now I'm "signed"! Really though, that isn't that big of a deal these days. 90% of all people who get signed are getting screwed. It's cheap and easy enough to just produce a CD on your own these days, without any label taking all your monies. Only sign something if you're sure they will be of use for you.

No, I don't, but I agree that it sounds like that sometimes. I'd say it's because my voice is quite.. sharp, and not very deep, and I never do vibrato. (I basically can't. =/ ) So when I hit the notes "right", it sounds sort of emotionless, and maybe digital.

Honestly, it's different for different videos.. :) But you're definitely on to something, I'll admit! It's easier to sync the videos that way, and the sound quality gets better. It's all about the finished product, right?

The only video I personally enjoy listening to is the Mega Man medley. Once I start up that one, I can't turn it off, I think it's great. :) Beside Me has some parts in the middle I really like as well.
As for visuals, the TV theme medley is probably the most impressive. As for specific moments, I'm glad I could include a tiny bit of animation into the Cartoon Medley, around 4:24. I've always wanted to use animation into my videos somehow.
