Early Life
Freddy Mullins was born and raised in Lexington, KY and began his involvement in music with piano lessons beginning at the age of 8-13. After giving up piano for sports, he returned to it at the age of 19 and began composing piano pieces shortly after. After graduating college at the University of Kentucky with degrees in Marketing and Management, Freddy moved to Nashville at the age of 22. With no piano to play after his move, he quickly picked up and learned the guitar. During this time, Freddy's musical interests were consumed with folk singer/songwriters such as Ben Harper, Ryan Adams, Cat Stevens, and Jeff Buckley; all of which are credited as major influences on his music.

Musical Carrer
Debut Album
Freddy Mullins' debut release, "Bring Me Blue" is a collection of 6 demo recordings. It was released on November 7th, 2006 and quickly established Mullins' thoughtful lyrical presence and "the gripping bluesy/soul aspects to Freddy's voice." [http://cdbaby.com/cd/freddys]
Everything In Between
Mullins' first full length album released on February 14, 2007 helped further establish him as a up and coming singer/songwriter. From the CDbaby album review, "As the album’s name implies, the songs on the album run you through the gauntlet of emotions including life, love, and loss. As he also established on “Bring Me Blue”, Mullins’ writing is once again delivered without reserve as he boldly and unapologetically wears his heart on his sleeve."

Broken White Lines
Mullins' second full length album released December 27th, 2007. After being heavily influenced by fellow singer/songwriter Mark Kozelek, Mullins wrote this album in a complete retrospective sense. From the Cdbaby album review, "Broken, as the title suggests, is a travelogue of sorts, speeding through retrospective memories of loves, losses, the places, and people that have brought him to the present. It is the equivalent of a tightly woven patchwork quilt, overflowing with empathy, warmth, nostalgia, and a yearning to reclaim what time has taken." [http://cdbaby.com/cd/freddymullins2]
