Gifted, talented and versatile are just a few words that best describe singer, songwriter, musician and producer Alvin Frazier.
Born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio, Alvin has been singing since the age of two and pecking at the keys since the age of three. Both of Alvin’s parents were involved in music at some point in their lives. “My dad was a singer who had his own group, and my mom was a drummer for her church when she was young. As you can see, the combination of singing and musicianship was in the blood.”
Through watching and listening to his father rehearse and work out harmony arrangements with his group, Alvin would begin to imitate what he heard. “My Mother saw the potential and started buying me toy instruments (i.e. pianos and guitars) and it wasn’t long before I started to hear ideas as early as three years old, believe it or not, and I’ve been going strong ever since.”
Over the years, and without formal training, Alvin would go on to learn to play the piano, guitar, bass and drums. Outside of being a singer and self-taught musician, Alvin had a love for writing and storytelling. He would eventually use that talent for songwriting. Alvin’s musical journey has been extensive and that journey has been instrumental in Alvin’s understanding of the various aspects of music to which he has been involved and is the key to his versatility as a producer. “Of course like any of the people who do what I do, I have many musical influences. Artists like Steely Dan, Earth, Wind & Fire, Pat Metheny, George Duke, Stanley Clarke, James Taylor, Sting, Sade, to Deitrick Haddon, Fred Hammond, Commissioned, The Winans & Israel Houghton to name a few. However, I am very careful about the things that I choose to listen to.”
Alvin attributes his success and rapid development as a songwriter / musician / producer to his faith in God. “It would be foolish of me to think that all my abilities are a result of own my doing. Being brought up around music helped, but I recognize that I am blessed with a gift and have been assigned a work to do, and I know that with the Lord’s help I will be able to complete it successfully one person and one melody at a time.”
Known as “the one man band”, Alvin receives countless calls from mentors, peers and clients seeking his services and advice as a musician, songwriter or producer. Alvin says, “I feel that creating music is part of my life’s destiny, and I am certain that it is my life’s calling, so I desire to be excellent at it by learning as much as I can.”
As of December 8, 2006 Alvin released his debut offering Love & Faith Volume:1. Be sure to pick up a copy of this amazing project on-line or at a location near you…
