Anthony Fedorov

Anthony Fedorov (born May 4, 1985) is an American singer and was a contestant from the fourth season of the American Idol television series who made it to the final four. Born in Ukraine, Fedorov moved to the United States in 1994. He is now 20 years old and attending Bucks County Community College near Trevose, Pennsylvania. Fedorov had a tracheotomy as a toddler due to a birth defect in his windpipe, from which the scar is still visible. Despite skepticism that he would even be able to talk again, he began singing at an early age.
