Aged 16, Gibson joined an a cappella group at Brian Eno's studio in London, who was his family's neighbour at the time. In 2014, he collaborated as co-producer and songwriter with Eno and Karl Hyde on their two project albums Someday World and High Life (songwriter only). Also in 2014, Gibson participated in that year's Red Bull Music Academy, held in Tokyo, Japan.
In 2018, George Ezra's song "Shotgun", co-written by Fred, reached Number 1 in the charts, remaining in the top 3 for 12 consecutive weeks. Later, in the same year, Gibson was also credited with co-writing "Solo" by Clean Bandit, featuring Demi Lovato, and gained further success with Rita Ora's song "Let You Love Me".[12] Gibson is credited with writing and/or producing 12 of 15 of Ed Sheeran's 2019 No.6 Collaborations Project, with credited songs featuring for a total of 14 weeks at Number 1 in the charts.
Gibson won Producer of the Year at the Brit Awards 2020. He is the youngest producer to ever win the title. The win was voted for by a group of industry-wide A&R executives and was then selected by the Music Producers' Guild.
In 2019, Gibson began a project titled Actual Life, in which he collects samples from various sources – such as voice memos, clips from social media, and music by other artists – and incorporates them into original tracks. Gibson released the first of these albums, titled Actual Life (April 14 - December 17 2020), in April 2021, which he described as a "collaborative diary" reflecting his life experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic. He released a follow-up, Actual Life 2 (February 2 - October 15 2021), later that year in November.
In July 2022, Gibson performed a set for Boiler Room in London, which received critical acclaim and resulted in a surge in his popularity. The same week, he released the single "Turn On the Lights again.." with Swedish House Mafia, which samples Future's 2012 single "Turn On the Lights".
Gibson's third solo studio album, Actual Life 3 (January 1 - September 9 2022), was released on 28 October 2022. It was preceded by five singles: "Danielle (Smile on My Face)", "Bleu (Better with Time)", "Kammy (Like I Do)", "Delilah (Pull Me Out of This)" and "Clara (The Night Is Dark)".
Gibson's debut tour, which ran between October 2022 and February 2023 was fully sold out across all 15 dates, which stopped in Europe, America, New Zealand, and Australia. Prior to this tour, he'd done sporadic pop-up shows and festivals starting in late 2021, such as the above-mentioned Boiler Room and going B2B with Swedish House Mafia.

I'm deep divin' into your emotions
I am exploring the depths of your emotions
And sometimes I think I might be broke
Sometimes I feel overwhelmed or emotionally drained
But you're bringin' back all my feelings
But you are making me feel alive and whole again

true
@CoopG.
The fact that there is only really one line in the entire song speaks to Fred’s production skills. To CARRY a 4 minute song with an excerpt from an IG post deserves all the credit in the world. Well done Fred, well done mate.
@onge9457
a 4:20 length song... 😁
but we all fully agree

I just noticed (a few mins ago) this is what he did with Marea (We've Lost Dancing)
Pulling out & Telling the Story behind the needle found within the haystack
@Jalvoo
