“I grew up on the standards, performing with my grandmother across the country, learning from the very best! Jazz continues to hold her memory, while it influences the music I write today.
As a seasoned traveler through the journey of life, I have found that life’s ups and downs create the ride that has inspired my creative heart. I am a singer, songwriter, wife, mother, daughter, and friend. I am a student, teacher, lover and crusader. Like anyone, I live many personas and each can be seen through the songs that I sing.
From jazz to blues to rock, improvisation and collaboration become the fabric that weaves hope and inspiration through my music, with the ultimate goal of connecting the heart and mind to the soul.
Music is my conduit for sharing personal experience and creativity is my catalyst for honoring the past, living in the present and embracing the future.” Carol Frazier
