DJ/remixer/producer Frederic Blais, better know as Fred Everything, was born in Hull but raised in Quebec City, Canada. After singing over his favorite songs, the opportunity to start experimenting with music came at the age of 13 when the promising artist was able to afford his first synthesizer. Fred Everything began DJing in the mid-'90s. 　　Following years of residences in Montreal's circuit, he moved to the U.K. The newcomer was soon playing in the prestigious the Bomb and Soulsonic, among other well-known local clubs. His celebrated performance at Glasgow's In The City festival became his breakthrough. In March 2001, his first full-length record, called Everything Under the Sun, was released. That same year, the mix album DJ Set 01 and the compilation From the Deep: Remixes 1998-2001 came along, delivering his funky and soulful style.
