Biography

Marti Frederiksen, who grew up in the Los Angeles area, began playing in bands and writing songs during high school. Upon graduating in 1980, he played drums for a band called Drop In The Gray, which signed a label deal and released an album with Geffen Records. Following the group’s breakup, Frederiksen developed his writing and producing skills with two other bands which he subsequently forme...

It was in 1993 that Frederiksen enjoyed his first major success as a songwriter, co-writing and producing the #1 rock hit “Got No Shame” with Brother Cane (on Virgin Records). Aaron Jacoves (then Vice President of A&R at Virgin) hooked him up with Brother Cane, and co-wrote five songs on their first album. Aaron also helped him land a publishing deal, by introducing him to Kaz Utsunomiya (then Senior Vice President) at Virgin Publishing.

Frederiksen continued his success with Brother Cane, co-writing another #1 rock hit, “And Fools Shine On,” for the group’s second album. These hits caught the attention of renowned A&R executive John David Kalodner of Columbia Records, so they met, and then he introduced Marti to Aerosmith (for their Nine Lives album in 1998.)

After his collaboration with Aerosmith, many doors opened for Frederiksen. He wrote and produced cuts with a wide range of artists, including Ozzy Osbourne, Jeff Healey, Mick Jones of Foreigner, and Richard Butler. In 1999, Frederiksen received a Golden Globe nomination in the Best Song category, for co-writing “The Flame Still Burns” (from the film, Still Crazy). The following year, Frederiksen even demonstrated his ability as a strong vocalist, by singing all the lead vocals by the mythical group Stillwater in the acclaimed, Cameron Crowe movie, Almost Famous.

Notwithstanding these successes, it was his teaming again with Aerosmith which resulted in his big break, co-writing and producing “Jaded” and nine other songs on the double platinum Just Push Play album.

The success of “Jaded” and Just Push Play helped establish Frederiksen as a prominent, in-demand writer/producer.

Marti has recently had successes on the charts such as “Sorry” by Buckcherry, “Love Remains the Same,” Gavin Rossdale’s recent hit single, and “Mixed Up” for Hannah Montana III.

Marti’s latest releases are Foreigner’s new studio album which he co-wrote & produced as well as two cuts on Carrie Underwood’s new album, Play On, "Mama's Song" and Undo It."
