Fudge And The Frequency
An energetic music collective who are telling the world to wake the funk up. Lead singer Fudge looks just as cutting edge as he sounds. His voice has a soulful rawness to it that cannot be taught or trained. Fudge & The Frequency’s music is a fusion of funk, soul, dubstep hip-hop, rock and reggae. Frontman Fudge’s voice sits perfectly in the middle of this soundscape allowing the listener to be taken away by the cleaver lyrics and refreshing tone. The singer has been dubbed ‘a mixture of Jamiroquai and Stevie Wonder with a futuristic punch in the face.
"Perhaps they could start prescribing a daily dose of this on the NHS from now on too. Get funky" - Never Too Old (To Dance).
"I have done many sessions working for Roland, but I have never seen a crowd go so nuts as I did when Fudge And The Frequency played. Tight band, great tunes and a vibe and style that is sure to get even the most cynical London crowd pumping." - Roland
"Thank you for bringing the Funk back to BBC". - BBC Radio
"The best live act we’ve ever had here". - Kensington Roof Gardens

Latest single ‘Driver' has already hit 100k views on YouTube and the tracks heavy Funk groove, brash Rock guitars and unforgettable hook were inspired by one of Boyd’s favourite past times: “One of my favourite things to do is to drive around late at night listening to music, so I wanted to make a track that would lend itself to that situation”. Raw and infectious, ‘Driver’ proves to be Joe Boyd’s finest moment yet.
