Andreas "Freddy" Koulakiotis has been focussed on the world of music since the 80s. As DJ Freddy he made a name for himself in various legendary clubs in south Germany. From 1993 to 1998 he ran the Stuttgart record store, Freddy's Records, that served as a meeting place for company founders Felix Haaksman and Robin Hofmann, in addition to inspiring many other south Germans to pursue their passions in music.

Freddy has been employed as a music consultant for HearDis! since 2008. His encyclopedic knowledge of recent and distant musical history along with his knack for finding new and exciting music before anyone else hears it is uncanny, making him the go-to for finding the right music for compilations, videos, Instore Music and special projects
