Even though he’s only 17 years old, Ottawa-based DJ and electronic music producer Frayd is already making quite a name for himself.
Having grown up in a musical family, his precocious talent started to manifest itself in the fall of 2013, when he began making electronic music in his bedroom under the name Chil Pollins.
He then changed his stage name to Frayd in 2014 and subsequently released three EPs under that moniker. (Check out his Soundcloud page to listen to some samples of his tracks).
The teenage artist now brings his electronic sounds to Bluesfest when he performs on the Canadian Stage on Saturday, July 18 at 5:45 pm.
“Playing Bluesfest will definitely be the pivotal moment in this project,” says Frayd in an email interview. “It will be the biggest and most important show so far.”
This is the first time that the up-and-coming artist will be playing Bluesfest, and when asked what he has in store for his show he said that festival goers can expect something special.
“Being my biggest show to date means the audience can expect huge things,” he tells Apartment613. “I don’t want to give away too much but I can say two things: all original, mostly unreleased.”
As for what he plans to do in the coming months, the hope is to really launch his career forward in the near future.
“In a perfect world the next year will be the turning point for my music career.” says Frayd. “I am planning huge things to make this year monumental. I am also working on projects with various people right now that will definitely help in this journey.”
