Twenty-five year old Fready Man began his journey as Alagie Mbye, born and raised in Gambia West Africa,in the 80´s
 Fready began to develop his Musical Carrier in his first year of high school (St. Augustine´s High School) and serving his musical apprenticeship with a group from Gambia know as New Edition and later with one of the most famous groups  know as Hamaleh G, . For him the music is a vehicle for his message.
Reggae has continued to be a style shared by the original participants (Jamaica), aliens or visitors to the sound and the roots (Africa) that produced the enticing stem. There’s really no contest or debate on who actually owns reggae music. Reggae is a black sound. The link between the diaspora champions of the genre and the trailing Africans is the blackness portrayed by the music itself; from the lyrics to the baseline and to the sentimental mellow and wailing that divulge pains, agonies and denials. As reggae moves on to bear kids that have reached the tender hiphop mix called bashment, fusions which one could rightly call nephews, nieces to dancehall, raga and roots skanking emerge even from the most unexpected area.

Presently, the Anglo-West African youth have marched up the stage with his very own mixed reggae. You’ll feel the originality escaping vigorously out of the traditional reggae flavours. At the enclave of Senegambian music scene a young musician called Fready Man has climbed the platform as the newest breed with marvelous reggae. Mixing African manual instruments to reggae and stirring properly his burns steadily like a dreaded furnace. The traditional manual instruments one would least think of fusing with reggae’s groovy beats are forced to be in a happy matrimony with the baseline, drums, horns and the melody. Fready Man, a youthful Gambian ensemble, is serving reggae with the spice of Kora (West African local guitar that originated from the Mali Empire), Balafon, Djembe and the Flute. He merges its heritage, culture and tradition to the popular reggae that has eaten deep into the nerves of all. The end result leaves ears in awe; drifting in the surprise of such a savvy mix.

The talented youth found himselves accidentally. He started putting his talents to the test from early teen. He was attracted to him selves by the fact that he suffered precisely the same musical ailment, the sound sickness he suffered turned around to be a triangular epidemic, hunting him deeper. He couldn’t afford to waste any more time. He quickly merged up his head and took up a tag. Alagie Mbye (aka Freddy Man) thought picking up a name that spells teaching will be so apt.  He aims to use his lyrics to wash off some dirt in the beliefs of the present-day youths and also to liberate some lights on the ways of the blindfolded ones. Fready Man is tied to conscious lyrics that caries him some years ahead of his age. The words spawned in the songs are rather a presentation of a satire of the ills of our micro and macro societies.

Fready Man began officially in December 1999. In the first quarter of 2000 he became the sweet spice of all clubs and open air shows in Gambia. His melodies were so captivating virtually most radio and television shows wanted his acapella as intros and outros. ‘Why am lonely’, his roaring single, has become the quickie anthem in the lips of all reggae lovers around Senegambian region. His portrayal of African tradition; in dressing and sound fusion has stood the him miles away from the rest who are rather tagged strict emulators.
