As son of a music teacher and church musician, Frey began his musical education very early. At the age of seven, he began to learn
recorder and piano. Later followed clarinet and guitar, which he played in school bands. He came to a personal Christian faith in the early 1980s, during involvement with
Catholic charismatic youth work in
Ravensburg. Shortly afterwards, he joined the Christian rock band
Effata. In the early 1990s, he graduated as an
audio engineer and set up his own recording studio. Since 1989, Albert Frey has been involved in the Christian music scene as a composer, producer and worship leader in his self-founded Immanuel-Lobpreis-Werkstatt Ravensburg. Since the mid-1990s, he has been responsible for the CD and songbook series
Feiert Jesus! (Celebrate Jesus!). He has published more than 240 compositions to date and has been involved in over 50 CD productions. Frey also produces CDs for other artists, such as
Conny Reusch,
Andreas Volz and
Christoph Zehendner. Since 2001 Frey has been married to Christian singer
Andrea Adams-Frey and is active as a speaker and author for the Christian magazine
Aufatmen (take a deep breath). In 2009, together with his wife, he started the pastoral care congress "Zuerst geliebt" (First loved). Since 2011, the congress has continued under the title "Lebendig" (Living). The couple have lived on their own horse farm in
Forchtenberg since 2012, where their Adenhof Studio is also located. In March 2011, Albert Frey received the
IMPALA Silver Award for his albums
Für den König,
Anker in der Zeit and
Land der Ruhe, each of which had sold over 20,000 copies. After working on various solo albums, in 2023 he released the pop oratorio
7 Worte vom Kreuz (Seven words from the cross). The oratorio, which deals with the
Passion story, will also be performed live with different choirs from 2024. ==Discography==
