Bio

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. He’s an eclectic songwriter who is always in search of that unique sound that brings a whole new dimension for his listeners to hear. His lyrics are not only a reflection of his life but also his concerns beginning with the intimacy of love to the social awareness of people’s conditions and attitudes. Fred’s music embodies the heart and soul of human behavior. Fred shows his ability in other genres by writing instrumental pieces for jazz, film and TV. A renaissance artist in the making, he has been noted by Billboard World Song Contest, John Lennon Songwriters Contest, Great American Song Contest and UniSong International Songwriting Contest.
