Frank Fiedler, originating from a quaint village in Germany, is a virtuoso in both double bass and electric bass. His melodic and elegant bass playing has graced a diverse array of musical landscapes, not only enriching various jazz ensembles but also navigating across genres such as Soul, Folk, and Pop.

Fiedler's musical journey includes collaborations with folk artists like David Munyon, Allan Taylor, and the german bluegrass virtuoso Werner Lämmerhirt. However, he truly reached a wider audience as a member of the german acoustic soul band 'tok tok tok,' which went on for 15 years, winning the French Grand Prix SACEM, the German Jazz Award (five times) and several other awards. In more recent years, Frank Fiedler has expanded his artistic activities as a composer and live producer. His collaborative efforts with Inge van Calkar have earned them awards such as the NPO Radio 2 Topsong, the Radio Veronica Oorkonde Award, and Best Artist of the North award at ESNS.

As a double bass player he worked with german crooners Bill Ramsay and Peter Petrel, and also 'the german Nat King Cole' Melvin Edmondson. He toured with gypsy jazz musicians Kussi and Martin Weiss and was part of the Knut Richter Swingtett for many years. He played concerts with jazz musicians Stefan Abel, Ed Kröger and Otto Wolters. He also performed on several productions with the NDR radio philharmonic orchestra.
