released soon, with the album to follow. Fedorov's first record, Never Over, was released in July 2011. The initial release is an EP with six original songs, written or co-written by Fedorov. His single, which is called "You're Perfect" was released on June 29, 2011. He said "When people hear it they won't expect to hear what they are going to hear. What people remember me doing on American Idol was ballads, but it has been 6 years and my voice has gotten deeper and has developed a lot of color and a lot of strength. I am really excited to introduce this part of myself. I would say my journey begins on June 29th when we release the single. My record will be released sometime in July, but we will start with the single first. I am really excited about it all." On June 23, 2014, a single "I Begin Again" co-written by Fedorov and Bill Grainer was released by Jai McDowall. On September 15, 2014, an EP by Auraganix (Anthony Fedorov and Jennifer Paz) was released, containing six songs. Filmography In 2011, Fedorov played the role of sailor /insurgent 1 on the Russian languaged short "Katya," which was directed and written by Mako Kamitsuna. The film was screened at various festivals during the year, the Short Shorts Film Festival & Asia, the Palm Springs International Shortfest, the Los Angeles International Short Film Festival, the Kiev International Film Festival, the BendFilm Festival, the Lucerne International Film Festival, the Orlando Film Festival and the Grand OFF World Independent Film Awards. Personal life Two days after Fedorov was voted off the show, his brother was diagnosed with Ewing's sarcoma. Denis Fedorov died in September 2006. Anthony has since become a national spokesperson for the Sarcoma Foundation of America and, in 2008, was appointed to the SFA board of directors. Following the show, rumors of a relationship between Fedorov and the final winner, Carrie Underwood, dominated discussions of the season. The rumors were sparked by Underwood's reaction to Fedorov's departure, when she sobbed openly and was seen on-screen saying "I love you" to him. Fedorov and Underwood denied the rumors, saying that they had a "brother–sister" relationship. They remained very close for some time after American Idol, with Fedorov accompanying Underwood to the CMA Awards on November 6, 2006. She also visited him on the set of The Fantasticks during his run
