New York based Producer, Composer, and multi-Instrumentalist Frederick Anthony Sargolini (aka FS), began DJing, playing piano and guitar at age 10. His fascination with electronics and music began while constructing his first, home-built mixer out of an Atari, spare circuitry and switches. During those early teen years, he established a reputation for producing and composing for local New York City artists. His production and writing skills caught the attention of several record labels, and by the age of 16, he had signed with Polygram/Universal Records and Chrysalis Music Publishing.
A few years later, with the ink barely dry on his high school diploma, Fred was hired by Character Music to do production and writing for major label acts, including Carl Thomas, Soul 2 Soul, and Brandy. While continuing his training for Jazz and Classical piano at the Brooklyn Conservatory for Music, Fred co-founded MING+FS and Madhattan Studios record label. Over the next 10 years, the duo of MING+FS released four, full-length albums and over thirty, 12" singles, while internationally touring their critically acclaimed live show. Fred has shared the stage with the likes of Sting, St. Germain, Run-DMC, Burning Spear, A Tribe Called Quest, and The Roots.
In 2006, Fred launched Patriarch Recordings, his production, artist and brand development company. Fueled by his multi-interest in all media, Fred is known for his unbending yet universal content. His talent can be heard in TV, film, video games, advertising and recording projects; recent credits include CSI, CSI: Miami, Weeds, Entourage, NBA Ballers, Kirsten Price (Sony), Bam's Unholy Union, Stomp The Yard, Yo Yo Yo Kids (Razor & Tie), The Real World, Delirious, Rob & Big, and American Princess.
Fred's love for creating music without boundaries continues.............
