Since 1991, when Walt Frasier switched from Trumpet to Vocal major, Piano Minor, his life has been filled with song. For ten years he performed in musicals, operas and as a paid church singer/cantor in Washington, DC, New York and touring around the world. Frasier has also worked as conductor and music director on various projects, including playing piano for 1000s of Improv shows.
