Fred Hazelton

Fred began his career in the entertainment industry as a drummer, in the third grade; he quickly rose through the ranks to become the captain of his high school's drum line, and in an unheard of move, drummed in his high-school's jazz band simultaneously. Fame and fortune surrounded Fred in his rapidly burgeoning career as a drummer for Amherst, Massachusetts based 'yEP!', culminating eventually in his crowning achievement, the smash hit "Groupies", in 1997. After his newfound box-office success, Fred began to truly enjoy the celebrity lifestyle -- the money, the fast cars, and so on; his success, however, would be his undoing. In 1998 he kicked his four-bottle-a-day Nyquil habit and came to work as a technician at a small internet provider in Western Massachusetts.
