FRASE's sound is organic and dynamic, up-beat and danceable while remaining intimate, because it's got depth. By blending the classic sounds of Soul, Hip-Hop, Dub-Reggae and Blues with the modern dance floor flavours of House and Bass music, FRASE pulls from the retro while pushing to the future. His productions are always locked in with a deep pocket and compelling backbeat. Live FRASE supplements these instrumental layers with a seamless integration of ‘tech’, resulting in a full, contemporary sound, in which his roots and inspirations never take a back seat to his technology. Because on top of it all FRASE is a soul singer, a great songwriter and performer. His lyrics are beautifully crafted and are sung with a unique and memorable voice and delicate vocal delivery.
