Introduction to music:
Frederikus van Workum, professionally known as Freek van
Workum, made it onto the music industry in 2008 when he started selling
beats online. Freek came from quite a musical background. Music was
always prominently on hand in his family during his upbringing and
teenage years. In his early teens, Freek developed an interest for rock,
metal, punk, hardcore and other electric guitar based genres. It was to
nobodies’ surprise that Freek started playing the guitar at the age of
fourteen. In addition, he also started classical piano lessons the year
he turned eighteen.
Around his 20th birthday he fell out with the band he was
in. One thing he knew for sure is that he wanted to continue to make
music. The only problem was that he was not sure where to take his
musical abilities next.
Becoming a music producer:
Freek was without a band. Solo. It did not take long before he figured that music production was a logical step forward. Not only did he possess the musical abilities but it also corresponded with his new individual state of musicianship.
After a few years of practice with local artists, he started to offer his beats for sale online at various outlets. Think of beat websites such as Rocbattle, Mybeatshop orSoundclick. Although he had to learn quite a few tools of the trade he became a successful online producer rather quickly selling hundreds of beats over the course of a few months.

However, he kept raising the bar and was looking to
expand to new levels. Some of the artists that were buying beats from
him were making good songs. Songs that people enjoyed. Freek wanted to
expand his reach and so he aimed his arrows at the next platform, the
majors of the music industry.
From having beats for sale to industry production:
Freek recalls that it was obvious to him that if major artists were to buy beats from him, he had to gain the correct contacts to get the instrumentals to them. However, that did not prove to be easy. It took long to get the right contact. Nevertheless, after a year he signed a management deal that went on to place various records with him. Some small, some big. Anno September 2016, Freek is a 4-time gold producer and even holds a platinum certification.
What’s next?
