Right Said Fred

Right Said Fred achieved immediate global recognition after releasing their debut single ‘I’m Too Sexy’ in July 1991, topping charts in 32 countries, including the US Billboard Hot 100 and six weeks at number two on the UK charts. Formed by brothers Fred and Richard Fairbrass in 1989, the band swiftly followed this success with two more UK chart hits: ‘Don’t Talk Just Kiss’, which reached number 3 in October 1991, and ‘Deeply Dippy’, which reached number one for three weeks in February 1992. Their debut album, ‘Up’, also topped the UK album charts in 1992 and achieved multi-platinum status globally. Also in 1992, Right Said Fred was honored with a Silver Clef Award for Best Newcomer and received an Ivor Novello Award for ‘I’m Too Sexy’ (Most Performed Work).

This songwriting recognition garnered them a BMI London Award in 2018 and a BMI Pop Award in 2019. Right Said Fred expanded their enduring legacy with new music, releasing ‘Godsend’ in 2022. Their influence on contemporary music was recognized again in 2022 with a BMI London Award for their contribution to Drake’s ‘Way 2 Sexy.’ ‘The Singles’ compilation is scheduled for release in 2023. Further solidifying their cross-generational impact, they are slated to receive a BMI London Award in 2025 for their songwriting contribution to Beyoncé’s ‘Alien Superstar.’
