Farid “Fredwreck” Nassar was born June 23, 1972 in Flint, Michigan to Palestinian parents who were fleeing the tyranny of the Israeli Zionists ravaging there homeland. He moved to California at age 11 and quickly got into breakdancing and then djing. Making mixtapes for his crew to breakdance to led to Fred Djing local house parties and then school dances. He then got a job working at the local record store, and quickly moved up in responsibility by becoming a buyer for the store. This put him in touch on a weekly basis with the local radio stations' music directors who would check in with him to see what the hottest records were that Dj’s were buying. When one of the local on-air Dj’s quit, Fred sent his mix reel in and it was played on the air the same night. The response was so good that he was brought back for the mix the next week, and the rest is history.

As one of the early members of the Wake Up Show with Sway, King Tech & Joe Quixx, Wreck was allowed to play his own beats as drops and music beds. At the same time Fred was interning at local studios where he learned everything there was to know about music and recording, while still Djing on the radio and 2 nights a week in local clubs. Taking acapella’s from records and remixing them with his own music on his mixshow led to Fred getting major label remix jobs, and then to full out production contracts. A collector of classic records and vintage keyboards, Wreck dived into the hypnotic river of sound and began his journey into production. A short gig as Director of A&R at MCA Records under legendary Bomb Squad producer Hank Shocklee (Public Enemy, Slick Rick, Ice Cube) gave him the opportunity to learn the business of how records were made and gave him the chance to work with King Tee. After King Tee was dropped, he left MCA and was signed to Dr. Dre’s new Aftermath Records. After giving Tee a beat CD that was passed along to Dre, Fred received a call from the Doctor to come in for surgery, and Fred put in work on Dre’s 2001. At the same time, Fred was roommates with Xzibit and he met legendary producer/keyboard player Soopafly, who also took a beat CD of his and passed it along to Daz n Kurupt, which led to production on the classic “Streetz iz a Mutha” LP and a production deal with none other than Snoop Dogg.

Fred's Djed for Xzibit, Snoop Dogg, The DoggPound, Cypress Hill and many others and has played keyboards in bands for Snoop, Cypress Hill and Westside Connection- just to name a few. He’s conducted the band for The Tonight Show with Jay Leno numerous times, performed on The Jimmy Kimmel Show, MTV Live and MTV New Years Eve Party. An outspoken supporter of the Palestinian movement, he is sometimes a guest on Foxnews and other radio programs. He’s currently living in Los Angeles, and is always working in the studio and experimenting with sound and music.
