With an unparalleled career that has consistently transcended the
boundaries of music, culture and thought leadership, Freddie
Ravel sees our present era as not the “Great Lockdown” but
rather, the “Great Free Up”….a historic moment to reset and raise
human potential through the world’s oldest and undisputed
international language of music.
As the founder of Life In TuneTM, the keynote speaker and
GRAMMY artist directed the band that bridged black and white
America – Earth, Wind and Fire – joined Madonna on the silver
screen, rocked stadiums with Carlos Santana, performed the
Grammys with Prince, played Country with Sheryl Crow and led
the teams behind Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, Deepak Chopra, J Lo
and Lady GaGa to become the expert’s expert on successful
multi-cultural and generational integration.
Dubbed the “Keynote Maestro” by the City of Los Angeles for
“renewing the national and international economy” through his
Life In TuneTM system, his clients include IBM, NASA, Google,
Blue Cross, EY and Prudential calling his “ideal balance of

collaboration and beyond. Today, Life In Tune continues to
expand music as the ultimate multi-tasking power tool to enhance
our daily lives.

For over a decade, the Gallup polls reveal that four out of five employees are disengaged in their work, costing the U.S. economy over $500 billion annually in lost revenue.
Freddie shares his personal stories of how minorities and women have opened doors to his ongoing success; from being hired by Brazilian icon Sergio Mendes at age 23 to being the only white guy in the all black band named “Earth, Wind and Fire.” In addition to his collaborations with Dr. Martin Luther King’s daughter, Yolanda King, as guest author alongside Stevie Wonder, Muhammad Ali, Robert Kennedy Jr. and Maya Angelou, he’s played the GRAMMY’s with Prince, recorded and appeared with Madonna and toured the world to packed stadiums with Latin rock legend Carlos Santana.
