Freddie Joachim (pronounced “JO-AH-KIM”), began his music career as a DJ in 1996. He started out as a mobile DJ in his hometown of San Diego, and for a while spent much of his time focused on being a battle DJ/turntablist. Since then, Freddie has become a DJ that spins and listens to an eclectic mix of genres, with a strong focus on hip-hop and jazz.
In 2001, Freddie turned his focus to recording and production. Primarily a software-based producer, he nevertheless has a foundation in – and a deep respect for -musicianship, record-collecting & sampling. His passion is working closely with other artists who share the same outlook and ideas on music.
Since 2001, Freddie has produced music for various local and international hip-hop and soul artists, with releases in North America, Europe, and Asia, as well as contract work with many international companies.
In the Spring of 2008, Freddie released his first full-length album in Japan entitled, “In With Time,” featuring artists such as Aloe Blacc (Stones Throw), Blu, Muneshine (Wax Reform), Choice37, Lauren Santiago, Profile (The Upstarts/The Sound Providers), Surreal, Othello, Son of Ran and others.
In 2009, Freddie released the instrumental album “Study Guide” with longtime friend and fellow producer Question, which was released by Japan’s renowned DJ Tonk on his label Milkdipper.
(Study Guide is available on iTunes, Amazon, Rhapsody, etc.)
