Bryan Fryzel (born January 17, 1983), better known by his stage name Frequency, is an American music producer and musician from Rockville Centre, New York.

Biography

Frequency was born in Rockville Centre, New York in 1983. While attending Oceanside High School, he began to DJ at school dances and house parties. He also began experimenting with production. While still in high school, Frequency met 6th Sense, a MC from Pelham, New York. Soon thereafter, the two of them formed a group, The Understudies, alongside 6th Sense's friend and mentor Mr. Tibbs. The Understudies then signed a record deal on Freshchest/High Time Records, where they released the 12" single, "Now & Then" b/w "Bananas" in the summer of 2004. Later that year, Frequency went on to work with several artists he had met in New York's independent scene: from Wordsworth ("Shoulder," "One Day" and "Don't Go" on Mirror Music) to Oktober (“NYC” on Projekt: Building) to Tonedef (“Give A Damn Remix” on Archetype) to El Da Sensei (“Natural Feel Good” on The Unusual).

2006 was a break out year for Frequency. That year, Frequency won Scion's New York leg of the King of the Beats competition, and produced a number of records for major label artists such as “Plenty of Love” by Raekwon, Gravy and Tikky Diamonds and “Ya’ll Can’t Live His Life” by Cam'ron and "Think About It" by Snoop Dogg. Snoop himself repeatedly referred to the song in interviews as his favorite track on the album.

Soon thereafter, Frequency began working with the Trackmasters, with whom he produced several tracks for an unreleased Lil' Kim LP, as well as tracks for The Game, Keyshia Cole, Beenie Man, Slim (from 112) and others. He also continued to place records on his own, producing songs such as “One Chance (Make It Good)” for Snoop Dogg's 2008 release

Bryan Fryzel p/k/a Frequency is a New York-based music producer, composer and DJ. He is known for his ability to cross various genres and for helping new artists develop their sound. Recently, he was
featured in the January 2014 issue of XXL as well as the 150th edition of Pensado's Place after
producing and co-writing the Billboard #1 hit record "The Monster" for Eminem and Rihanna.

He got his start as the DJ/producer of the underground Hip-Hop group The Understudies, which released the 12-inch single "Now & Then" b/w "Bananas" in the summer of 2004. The Understudies' strong reputation in the independent Hip-Hop scene led Frequency to work with several popular underground mainstays such as Lyricist Lounge alum Wordsworth and El Da Sensei of The Artifacts.

2006 was a break-out year for Frequency. Not only did he win Scion's New York leg of the King of the Beats competition, but he earned his first platinum plaque when he produced the critically-acclaimed record entitled "Think About It" off of Snoop Dogg's Tha Blue Carpet Treatment LP. Frequency's
work on the track landed him a spot in Scratch Magazine's "Boiling Point" column.

Over the next several years, Frequency produced tracks for Ghostface Killah, Cam'ron, Red Café, Lil'
Mama, eMC, Ras Kass, and the breakout New York radio anthem for Juganot – "En Why Cee"
(featuring Joell Ortiz and Uncle Murda). He also became a member of the legendary production team
The Trackmasters, with whom he produced records for Lil' Kim, Keyshia Cole, Slim (from 112),
Beenie Man, Game and others. In addition, Frequency joined forces with Snoop Dogg again,
producing "One Chance (Make It Good)" for Snoop's Ego Trippin' LP.

In 2009, Frequency began working with Slaughterhouse, the upstart Hip-Hop supergroup comprised of Joell Ortiz, Joe Budden, Royce 5'9" and Crooked I (currently signed to Shady Records). Over
