Fred&Walt are firmly deeply rooted in Zurich's Music Scene .
Fred a.k.a. Steff Kerkhof - of Dutch decent – played in various bands such Elverson, Keadaar, and now Lyvten – successful as Songwriter, lead singer and guitarist alike. He also followed solo projects and produced albums under the project alias Kerkhof and Skyfire.
Walt a.k.a. Markus Krucker played bass with indie combo My Eve Proposal and double bass in the Folk'n'Roll-Combo The Shortbread Cookies. Walt, also known as DJ Crookair, has been proving his pop sensibility for bangers and grooves since 2002 – the year he started creating Bastard-Pop-Bootlegs. His track “I schänke dir 21 Questions” (2004), a mashup of Züri West vs. 50 Cent, was played on the SRF 3s chart show, and shown on joiz tv.
Fred&Welt are rehearsal roomies since 2002. It was only a question of time before they finally started creating music together. They've been doing so since November 2013.
