Fred De Palma, pseudonym of Federico Palana, was born in Ceva, a town in the province of Cuneo, in November 1989. His life has not been easy, as he has openly talked about his early drug use, which was considered normal in his neighborhood. However, his situation worsened over time, and he even risked death. He lost one of his best friends due to drugs. This event made him realize that he needed to change his life, so he started writing and discovered that his verses could be turned into songs.

Through these competitions, he had the opportunity to meet prominent figures in the Italian music scene, such as Dirty C, with whom he formed the group Royal Rhyme.

With Roccia Music, he released “Lettera al successo.” However, their collaboration did not last long, as the singer announced his departure in 2014. The following year, he signed a contract with Warner Music Italy.
His third album, titled “BoyFred,” marked a turning point in his style. He continued to evolve with his fourth album, “Hanglover,” released in 2017, and subsequent albums “Uebe” and “Unico.” During these years, he collaborated with Spanish singer Ana Mena and Brazilian artist Anitta.
