Who is
the Fred
Warner?
I’m Fred Warner — a singer-songwriter, piano artist, performer, composer, author, podcast host, business adviser, and creator of the 7Q Method for helping businesses through change.
I’ve written songs for nearly 30 years, played piano since childhood, and taught myself guitar, bass, drums, harmonica, and music production. Alongside music, I spent over two decades working across Formula 1, aerospace, rail, high-tech engineering, and consulting as a Chartered Engineer.
A personal note from Fred
Thank you so much for being here and reading about what I do.
Nothing about my journey has been perfect or linear. I’ve stopped, started, doubted, and avoided doing what I’m called to do more times than I can count. But I’m finally doing the work that feels like mine: music, meaning, conversation, and creation.
If any of this helps you listen more closely to your own inner voice, and move one step closer to the life you’re meant to live, then it’s all been worth it.
§ 01
Why “The”
Fred Warner?
There’s already a well-known US footballer called Fred Warner who ranks really well for my name on Google, plus another musician with my name on Spotify. Adding “The” simply lets people find my music, books, and podcast without confusion — and unifies everything I create under one identity.
My work today sits at the intersection of music, purpose, creativity, and honest conversation. I release songs, write songbooks, host the LOVE ONE LIFE podcast, and create guides and tools to help you live more intentionally — with the purpose of enjoying the life you have, today, and not one day.
§ 02 / My partner in life
Who is Drea Warner?
Drea — short for Andrea — is my wife, my most amazing life partner, co-host, and the person who pushed me into listening to my soul. We’ve been on a significant self-development journey since meeting.
Drea always encourages me to enjoy the journey, and brings truth, humour, and grounded clarity to the LOVE ONE LIFE podcast. She sees the best in people, asks the questions that matter, and has always had my back.
Drea is passionate about our podcast.
§ 03 / Creativity
I’ve never been able to walk away from it
I write and create music because I’ve never been able to walk away from it, no matter how many times I’ve tried. It’s the thing that’s been with me since before I understood what ambition even was. My creativity is aimed at living with intention, aligning with what your soul keeps nudging you to do, and removing the doubt and hesitation that stops most people from ever being great at what’s already in them.
