Born in Santa Monica and raised on the westside of Los Angeles, Monsieur Frazier is a veteran of the L.A. club scene. Frazier held down a year-long DJ residency at the seminal Sound Nightclub, as well as graced the decks at many of the city’s best venues. In 2018 Frazier made the leap from club to the festival stage, making appearances at Splash House, Coachella, Minimal Effort, and more.
 
The offspring of a two-time Olympian and former Baltimore-based DJ, Frazier was raised in a family bursting at the seams with natural-born talent. Following in the footsteps of their father, both Frazier and his twin brother have dedicated themselves to a career rooted in music. Frazier's story begins with Hip Hop and Rap, with his first foray into the music industry beginning as a DJ for some of the L.A.’s many local rappers, coming up alongside many of the city’s biggest names in Hip Hop including Odd Future, Warm Brew, Dom Kennedy, and many more. Evidenced by his rapping and extensive use of sampling, Frazier's Hip Hop roots have stuck with him deeply throughout his career as he made the sonic pivot to playing electronic music.

Frazier released his first remix in December 2020 for Miami-based duo boiish and Mike Antix on acclaimed U.K. label HE.SHE.THEY, a label/collective that promotes inclusivity and diversity on the dance floor. The remix has garnered support from his peers as well as global DJs such as Lee Burridge, becoming a staple in his recent sets. 

In September 2021, Frazier released his long-awaited, self-titled debut EP to much acclaim. Receiving support from Groove Armada, Richie Hawtin, Chris Lake, Gene Farris, Blond:ish, Anna Lunoe, Rebuke, DJ, EZ, Life On Planets, and many, many more, as well overwhelming support from many of peers in his beloved local Los Angeles scene. In addition, Frazier also received spins on Liquid Todd’s Sirius XM show, Amy Elle’s KISS FM show, and local favorite SiLVA’s KCRW show. The EP, with its sonic diversity, and range, marked a turning point in Frazier’s career from local club DJ to a fully formed artist, worthy of international appeal, and recognition. 

Through his unwavering passion for the traditionalist sounds spanning Chicago and New York house, Detroit techno, and UK garage — along with a heavy influence of funk, hip hop, soul, R&B, jazz, and disco — it’s safe to say Frazier has figured out a winning formula that’s earned him the overwhelming support of his contemporaries and peers alike. It won’t be long before the rest of the listening world truly begins to take notice.
