my biography
Fred Maher: Co-founder of Obedia.
An almost completely self taught musician and a completely self taught audio engineer… I became much more interested in the “Control Room” and production after my first few times in a recording studio. This led to my first co-production credit in 1985 (Scritti Politti) and my first sole production credit in 1986 at the age of 23. Yes – I was a member of Scritti Politti but, fortunately we were a band that wore suits so, there aren’t too many embarrassing pictures out there!
I have produced and played on records by, Lou Reed, Scritti Politti, Matthew Sweet, Information Society, Lloyd Cole, Vitamin C, V.A.S.T., Taxi Ride, and many others.
I have also done consulting work for DTS, Advance Micro Devices, Euphonix, Steinberg and Gibson Guitar.
As a freelance recording engineer I have worked on records by Korn, Fuel, Pete Yorn and
The Crystal Method.
Grammy nomination in 2004 for Engineering, non-classical. Project: Fuel
Tec Award nomination, 2005 for Surround production. Project: The Crystal Method
1992 – 1995
Vice President A&R, Elektra Records

- Hey Fred!
Are you active as an A&R? Do you sign bands? If so, what are you currently searching for? I'm sure many members here will have interresting stuff or know someone who have.
Love, Stef :-) -

- Hi Fred,
great to see you here. Scritti Politti was one of my favourite bands in the 80s. You created a very unique sound these days the first 3 records were unbelievable to me. I am in fact a big fan of you.
Greetings from Duesseldorf Germany
