Mannie Fresh

Mannie Fresh is known to fans and throughout the music industry as a genre-defining producer, artist and entertainer. He started out as one of the best DJs in New Orleans and is now multi-platinum and Grammy- nominated.

Responsible for creating hits with such acclaimed artists as UGK, Trina, Gucci Mane, The Notorious B.I.G. and, of course, Cash Money, Mannie Fresh continuously shifts culture. In recent years alone, he launched a Black Music Month playlist for Apple and #VirusKillaz virtual parties to stave off COVID-induced cabin fever. He made his rounds in the community with a “Vax That Thang Up” remix with Juvenile and Mia X for the dating app, BLK, and even lent his voice to local politics. In 2023, during a performance in Washington, D.C., Congressman Troy A. Carter (D-LA) presented Mannie Fresh with an official Congressional Record to acknowledge not only his contributions to Louisiana’s world renowned sound, but also the way his drum patterns are woven into the fabric of America.
