He was born in St. Thomas, but came to the United States with his family when he was young.
His recording debut was 1983's single "Pass the Budda," also featuring Spoonie Gee and DJ Spivey. However, Fresh's breakthrough was 1984's "Beat Street" behind the Treacherous Three. That same year saw Fresh's debut as a solo artist with the singles "Just Having Fun" and "Original Human Beatbox".
Fresh became a major rap star in 1985. His single "The Show/La Di Da Di," is considered an early hip hop classic. The "Get Fresh Crew" was featured: DJs Barry B., Chill Will, and MC Ricky D (who would later achieve fame as Slick Rick).
In 1987, Fresh's first full-length record was issued. Called Oh, My God!, this included a few more notable tracks such as ("Play This Only at Night" and "All the Way to Heaven") and was critically hailed for incorporating elements of reggae and gospel music. The next year saw another long player, The World's Greatest Entertainer, which appeared on Billboard magazine's charts due in part to a popular single, "Keep Risin' to the Top". Slick Rick's input was not appreciated by their joint record label, Fantasy Records, and he was asked to leave the group. However, subsequently Slick Rick released his own solo debut The Great Adventures of Slick Rick on Def Jam, to big success.
Fresh did not record again until 1992's Doin' What I Gotta Do, issued by MC Hammer's Bust It Records. Rap had changed appreciably in the interim, and Fresh seemed a little lost. The record performed poorly.
In 1995, Slick Rick and Fresh reunited for a record entitled Play which found Fresh back on his feet. Play received positive reviews; Bret Love writes that the record is "a welcome flashback to the days when guns, drugs, sex and violence were not the genre's primary lyrical focus."[1]
In the late 1990s, Fresh collaborated with Prince on a number of recordings, notably Newpower Soul and the "1999, the New Master" EP. Recently, Fresh has appeared on VH1's I Love the 80s.
Fresh is a Scientologist and has performed for large audiences of Scientologists at the annual Scientology Celebrity Centre Gala in both 2004 and 2005. He also recorded a couple of songs on the Scientology music album "The Joy of Creating" along with Isaac Hayes, and Chick Corea.

Freaks
The lyrics of Doug E. Fresh's song "Freaks" showcase a narrative of a man's sexual experiences with different women. The introduction in the song is given by Little Vicious from Donovan, Thomas, and he bigs up Doug E. Fresh, Grace, Maria and Gucci. The song dissuades the presence of "freaks" in a public place and asks them to go away as they see them. The singer expresses that seeing women who look good makes him happy, while also contradicting himself by calling out certain types of women as "freaks." The repeated chorus features the lyrics βsome gyal a freaksβ (meaning - some girls are freaks). In the middle of the song, the singer reveals a sexual encounter with a woman he picked up in East 21 Street, the woman boasts of being tight "underneath," but when the singer got there, he couldn't believe how big she was.
