Hey, there my name is FRE. I am a music producer who specializes in genres such as K-Pop, Hip Hop, and R&B. I have had a few placements here and there but most notably by well-known rapper Ray B in Vietnam and a Thailand YouTuber WinnyNaNa. I do have a long list of credits with underground upcoming artists as well if you want to see that.
I offer a lush/chill vibe to my productions. I love doing more r&b/pop related stuff but I also feel comfortable making hip-hop beats around that type of sound. My works can be found over at www.youtube.com/fremadethis or www.fremadethis.com. I also have done multiple mixing/mastering for artists who reached out to me. I specialize mostly in melodic pop-sounding beats. I also can do commercial/tv/ads/branding type of tracks as per my previous works with Samsonite and Creative.
Would love to hear from you. Click the contact button above to get in touch.
Interview with FREMADETHIS
