"I always get asked what the sub-title MBM/MGA stands for; well it basically goes in order, my past relationship/my daughter. My life has changed so much since the introduction of those two elements and I would love to share with the world my life's journey so far in respect to that ride."
A. Frazier was born in the Bronx, NY but after the loss of his parents due to rare Asthma conditions, he relocated to the celebrity ridden, suburban area of Westchester County, NY. There he was able to take advantage of many opportunities only afforded to the super rich. He was also able to mingle and network at a very early age with industry execs that were literally neighbors to him such as Allen Menken, Vanessa Williams, Cindy Crawford, Mariah Carey and so many more. It has been a rough road trying to follow my dreams of music. Many thought I just wanted to be a singer but that's not the case at all. I want to be a teacher, a leader in this world that we call music entertainment. That's my real true endeavor. That's why I put so much of myself on hold and helped other people's dreams become a reality but I quickly learned that this business is not made for everyone. But I'll always be willing to hold out a helping hand for a struggling artist."
A. Frazier's first and most notable track is called "Only I". It is a ballad crooned by a power vocalist which holds back just enough to give you that vocal vulnerability.
The second power song and song that encompasses A. Frazier is called Music is my life. There he tells about his mistakes of relationships as well as what his real true love is; music.

"I am inspired by leaders such as Jay Z, T.I, Brian McKnight, Stevie Wonder, Whitney Houston and others. They made it possible for me to do what I am doing and I just want to do the same for others to follow in my footsteps."

"I've tried the group thing and realized that it wasn't for me. I commend groups that are able to embrace each other's dreams. It really takes unity to pull of a stunt like that. Being a solo artist is great for me. I really enjoy it. In fact, I prefer to have all the focus on me so that whatever comes out of the performance turns into a learning experience for me."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A. Frazier plays many instruments but is most accomplished as a pianist. "I used to sneak into guitar lessons and before the instructor came in, I would sneak and try to play the piano. Who would have known that that instrument would be my true love"?.
A. Frazier has opened for such acts in cities as Usher, Fabolous, Amerie, Nelly, Jessie Power, Digable Planets, Arrested Development, Sugar Ray, and many more. He has performed and sponsored countless charities and benefits raising thousands of dollars for causes and children's hospitals. He has been featured in music videos as well as television commercials. Even with all of these accomplishments he still stays very humble.
"I am excited to get on the road on my own independent tour with my friends. I hope that everyone tells as many people as they can to come out to the performances.
A. Frazier's music is a collaboration of his chaotic life's journey mixed with his vulnerable methods of songwriting. That is the music of A. Frazier.
