quite simple: - Strong Work Ethic - Disciplined musical upbringing - Always having relationships with mentors that keep him in high standards - Humble in his process and fame - Managed by people whom he trusts very dearly - Patient and always in touch with his emotions Its all a perfect loop for success
-
Fred Again.. is on another level. I saw him at Coachella with Skrillex and Four Tet, but him and Tony at Lolla sealed it. You don't know true musical talent until you see an entire crowd smiling, crying and dancing hard all during a single track. Delilah and Marea come to mind.
-
This video deserves more than 1M views. Brilliant piece of narration and analysis. Keep going man!
-
A true artist, in every definition of the word. People call him overhyped, they don't get it. And to be the prodigy of a legend like Brian Eno... He'll be remembered for generations to come.
-
Man, that shows that mentorship is so important in every industry.
-
fred saved me from taking my own life, his music is tantamount to magic to me, ethereal and beautiful
-
I always tell people Fred's music isn't just a reflection of himself but humanity
-
Fred again doesn't just make music, he makes art... He's not overrated or overhyped he's just incredibly talented. This documentary style video on him is the sort of video his skill deserves, would love to see a full length documentary about his rise to one of the biggest names in music currently! Great video Sergey
-
Theres not too much DJs @ this world that transmit EMOTION like FRED AGAIN does. A key so important to connect with the audience. IS HE, his presence, tunes and charisma. I'm not seeing his mentors or whatever on stages but him. Think about it, earthlings!
-
thank you so much for making this video. 13 minutes is a really short time! I promise you I can sit and watch for at least another hour! The combination of the very precise editing and Fred's personality. This is something amazing! Again, thank you!
-
Really liked watching this. For me Fred Again is playing so well with the emotions of sadness and making it through, so better times await in a āpureā way. Got exactly that feeling when watching this.
-
I saw him at EDC this year 2024, he was a surprise guest... man the energy from him and that set was insane and beautiful in so many aspects. See you Friday again Fred.
-
Goosebumps when he talks about making Actual Life by being in Actual Life. Incredible
-
this came at the perfect time for me, i just stumbled across his boiler room set last week and since then iāve gone from now knowing who Fred is to spinning his entire discography on replay daily, THANK YOU šā¤ļø
-
I mean, I hadnāt heard of him until stumbling on the Boiler Room set. Now I canāt get enough. The man is a true artist.

-
Was so beautiful watching this. Fredās music has changed my life forever , made me feel and recognize so many beautiful emotions I never thought I could feel. Thank you Fred for all your hard work you do and for being an incredibly kind person as well.
