Former journalist, and marketing and communications advisor at Hålogaland Theatre. 

Fredriksen was born and raised in Oslo, but lived in Tromsø for the last 22 years of his life. He was trained as a journalist and worked in the field for many years, including at the newspaper Nordlys. Fredriksen was also one of the founders of Blikk, and served as editor of the newspaper Immunforsvaret within the organization Pluss.

He was actively involved in DNF-48 and LLH, and at the time of his death, he was the regional leader of FRI Troms and Finnmark.

In an excerpt from the interview, he recounts how, at the age of 16, he managed to sneak into the legendary Metropol nightclub on Akersgata in Oslo. It did not quite live up to his expectations.
