I'm Frederick Greaves, a musician, songwriter and creative lead with six years of experience in the music industry. I built two band identities from scratch and I’m a first-class Music Technology graduate from the University of Sussex, where I won the Annual Music Prize and the Dr. John Birch Music Scholarship for all three years of my degree. I’ve been fortunate to develop my craft across writing, producing and performing, while building online followings and identity for bands. I’m currently pursuing an MA in Music Industry Studies at the University of Liverpool and I’m ready to move full-time into music. I’m a social media native with a high EQ, comfortable at a desk, and I’m driven by creativity, energy and a hunger to learn. I thrive in collaborative settings and bring tenacity and focus to every project, from songwriting to venue strategy and audience engagement.
