He then spent two years in the US Navy, after which he returned to Jacksonville to live with his father where he worked as a tattoo artist, and a landscaper, while developing an idea for creating a band that combined elements of hip hop and rock.
Career Beginnings
Fred Durst started to pursue his music career in 1994 when he teamed up with Sam Rivers, Wes Borland, and John Otto to form the rap rock band called Limp Bizkit. They quickly gained popularity in the underground music scene with their covers of Paula Abdul’s “Straight Up” and George Michael’s “Faith”. They finally signed a record contract with Flip Records, a subsidiary of Interscope Records, and in 1997 released their debut studio album entitled “Three Dollar Bill, Y’all”.
Although the album didn’t achieve much success, Durst became Senior Vice President of A&R at Interscope, and co-produced Staind’s album “Dysfunction”.
Rise to Fame
Fred Durst’s band gained mainstream success in 1999, when they issued their second studio album “Significant Other”, which received high commercial sales and reached No. 1 on the US Billboard 200 chart, was eventually certified seven times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), and spawned such singles as “Nookie”, “Re-Arranged”, and “Break Stuff”.
Their third studio album, entitled “Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavored Water”, out came the next year, and sold more than a million copies in its first week, setting a record for highest first-week sales for a rock album, and debuting atop the Billboard 200.

In 2003, they released their fourth studio album “Results May Vary”, which peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 chart, however, its critical reception was mainly negative. Thereafter, Borland rejoined them and they released an extended play entitled “The Unquestionable Truth (Part 1)” in 2005.
Limp Bizkit then went on a hiatus, but eventually reunited and recorded their fifth studio album “Gold Cobra” in 2011, which received mixed reviews and reached No. 16 on the Billboard 200. Following its release, they left Interscope and signed with Cash Money Records.
