Fred Again, whose real name is Frederick John Philip Gibson, is an English record producer, singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and DJ1. Born on July 19, 1993, in Balham, South London, England1, he is known for his work with numerous chart-topping pop and rap songs2.
Fred’s journey in music began when he joined an a cappella group at Brian Eno’s studio in London at the age of 163. He impressed Eno with his Logic skills, leading to Gibson gaining the revered musician as a mentor2. By 2014, he was working with Eno, collaborating on his trilogy of albums alongside Underworld’s Karl Hyde2.
In 2018, he became increasingly high demand, working with numerous musicians in a variety of genres, including Shawn Mendes, Ray BLK, George Ezra, Clean Bandit, Rita Ora, and Jess Glynne2. His debut solo single, “Kyle (I Found You),” arrived in 20192.
He worked closely with Ed Sheeran on No. 6 Collaborations; he co-produced all but two tracks on the album2. In 2020 he landed his first win for Producer of the Year at the Brit Awards2. He is the youngest producer to ever win the title1.
In 2021, he released his first two full-length albums, Actual Life (April 14 - December 17 2020) and Actual Life 2 (February 2 - October 15, 2021)2. In 2023, he released Secret Life, an ambient pop album with Brian Eno2.
His latest single “ten,” featuring Jozzy was released on October 13, 202345. The track was teased on his social media platforms more than three months before its release5. The song is inspired by the feeling of “missing home” and blends house music with elements of lo-fi5.
