Wallpaper (musician)

Wallpaper (stylized as Wallpaper.) was an American hip hop and pop music project, fronted by producer, multi-instrumentalist, and songwriter Eric Frederic (better known as Ricky Reed) based in Oakland, California. The group also featured Novena Carmel, Arjun Singh, Derek Taylor, and Tom Peyton. Wallpaper was signed to Boardwalk Records/Epic Records and notably played at SXSW. The band, founded in 2005, was known for their lyrics, which Frederic has characterized as satire of pop music and consumer culture, as well as for their early use of exaggerated auto-tune. During their run, the group released two studio albums, four extended plays, five singles and three promotional singles.
