Growing up in a struggling and toxic environment in the city of Los Angeles, California, Freddy River found his passion from teaching himself piano at the age of 10. He would not know that he would end up becoming an extremely dedicated musician by the age of 17, putting his life into his work and releasing tracks on Spotify and iTunes under the name David Eppik. In 2018, Freddy attended Hampton University for his freshman year of college. However, he dropped out after 10 months of attending to escape the troubles of his family and to pursue music full time. 

After changing his alias, multi-genre producer, artist and songwriter, Freddy River, began a fresh start to his musical journey in late 2019 with a new wave sound of electronic music mixed with R&B. The 20 year old producer plans on becoming the most influential and genre-fluid artist in the industry ahead. Freddy’s first official release was an EP titled “Volume One,” which was the first installment to a series which he plans to release throughout his career to showcase his musical growth and progress. The young artist has been greatly influenced by artists such as Kanye West, John Legend, Kendrick Lamar and Frank Ocean. He also takes inspiration from many genres, such as alternative R&B, indie pop, electronic and more. Freddy’s next step in his career begins with a new EP, “Offshore,” inspired by The Outlaw Ocean — a book by New York Times best selling author, Ian Urbina.
