A New York City born native, Fred embraced the broad cultural composition of music his city offered. So intrigued with the melodic rhythms of percussions, Fred began to develop melodies over beats he created as well as the standard ones he enjoyed playing on congas. A son of Latin American Caribbean parents, he brings to the table the diverse sounds of the islands. From the lilting sounds of calypso to the infectious tempos of salsa, Fred shares just one side of the many aspects of his music.    

Currently, some of Fred's songs are included in Pump Audio, Crucial Music and HD Music Now's catalogs and in two CD compilations NSAI's "Best of the Holidays" and Pick With Austin Foundation's "My Gift of Music." His music is aired on Suckfree Radio and Outbound Music.com. 

A renaissance artist in the making, he has received "Honorable Mentions" by Billboard World Song Contest, John Lennon Songwriters Contest, Great American Song Contest, UniSong International Songwriting Contest and Song of the Year Suggested Artist Placement. He is a member of ASCAP, TAXI, Songwriters Guild of America(SGA), Nashville Songwriters Association (NSAI), American Independent Music Publishers (AIMP) and National Association of Recording Industry Professionals (NARIP). 

Fred is the founder and owner of his recent entertainment company Mixing It Up Productions,LLC.
