Frazier Music Group

Founder

Scott
Frazier

Manager · A&R executive · Talent developer

Scott brings more than 25 years of experience discovering and developing artists across genres. His work led to A&R consulting roles with Virgin Records, Wind-Up Records, Roadrunner Records and Lava Records.

During the pandemic, he moved from rock into country — first finding After Midtown, then discovering Bailey Zimmerman six months later while in a joint venture with 10th Street Entertainment. The Core Entertainment joined as strategic partner, bringing an established country foundation to a team coming from rock.

After parting with Bailey amicably, Scott returned to talent discovery through Lava. That is where he found Chloe Wilson. Rather than simply bring her to the label and leave the outcome to a pass or a yes, he chose to manage the artist he believed in.

The company is built to discover what comes next — and build it to last.

Rock foundation

Decades of management and development work opened consulting seats with Virgin, Wind-Up, Roadrunner and Lava.

Country move

During the pandemic, Scott found After Midtown and, six months later, Bailey Zimmerman. The first country at-bat proved his talent instincts travelled across genre lines.

Strategic partnership

Bailey was discovered while Scott was in a joint venture with 10th Street Entertainment. The team brought in The Core Entertainment as a strategic partner with deep country experience.

Scott found Chloe Wilson while consulting for Lava and chose to manage her directly. The FMG name also looks forward: his son works in A&R in Nashville, and the company was built with a future family legacy in mind.
