I’ve never been in such an amazing stuff,” someone recalled. “3rd time seeing these guys in the space of 2 years and they DO NOT DISAPPOINT!” another exclaimed.

Fred’s career so far

It all began in the mid-90s when Fred, Sam Rivers, John Otto, DJ Lethal, and guitarist Wes Borland came together to form Limp Bizkit. Their debut album, Three Dollar Bill, Y’all, was an immediate success leading to the release of yet another one titled Significant Other, which topped the U.S. charts in 1999.

The group soon went mainstream in the 2000s, with Fred spearheading more collaborations, sportsmanship, and record deals. He also delved into film, appearing in productions like Population 436, and making his directorial debut in 2007 with The Education Of Charlie Banks. The group frontman reunited with the Limp Bizkit in 2009, while also keeping his solo music and filmmaking career afloat.
