Biography

Welcome to My Official GrimePedia Page (THIS PAGE WILL BE UPDATED SOON!)

My name is Alex (Also Known As FreskBeats or FBM (FreskBeatsMusic)). I am 16 years old and I am currently in Year 11 studying my GCSE's. I am a Music Producer, and I like to produce all kinds of music. My Show Real Collection has now been uploaded to MySpaceso check it and tell me what you think. It will be on Facebook soon!!

I started producing when I was 14 years old using Fruity Loops 7. I started off like most people do, not knowing what to do and what anything did, but I continued to practice and practice and after a while on my own I learned the basics of how to make a beat. Obviously, my beats were sounding far from good, but I got an understanding of what each of the sounds did and how they influenced the beat. With this understanding, I learned how to make a beat and how to put the sounds together. I also learned the basic structure of tracks (16 bar verse, 8 bar chorus, etc.). By this time I was continuously making beats using this structure to try and perfect my sound.

When I turned 15, my beats were begging to sound less experimental and lots of noise and more like grime (which at this time, was the genre I wanted to produce)! As my beats were improving quickly, MC's were interested in using some of my beats, and therefore I began to work with some MC's on projects. This gave me even more understanding on how songs are recorded and created. As the summer was coming to an end, I believed that I had a strong understanding of how to make beats on Fruity Loops. This was when I discovered Reason 3. With a little help from the guy I currently do a lot of work with now (Kojo), I began understanding how to use Reason. This was a huge step up from producing on Fruity as I was able to experiment with new sounds and effects. I also learned why music is made, how to mix and knowing where different sounds sit in a mix. With this and other new knowledge I made a massive improvement in the quality of my beats. I also began to experiment with different genres and not constrict myself to just one genre. My beats were still continuously improving.

Now aged 16, I am currently working with programs such as: Reason 4, Cubase 4 and Logic (learning Logic at the moment!) Genres Producing: Hip Hop, Funky House, Drum & Bass, Dance/House, Pop, R&B, Garage and Commercial Music. I am also interested in working with GOOD and well ESTABLISHED Singers and MC's/Rappers.
