CHANDLER SONGWRITER
RECOGNIZED BY INTERNATIONAL CONTEST
Chandler resident
Chris Frazer recently received the honor of being named
Finalist by the Song of the Year (http://www.songoftheyear.com/
) songwriting contest. Song of the Year is an international
songwriting contest supporting VH-1’s Save the Music
Foundation. The Song of the Year judges are some of the
biggest names in music including many Grammy Award winners.
Song of
the Year is excited to recognize Chris for his exceptional
songwriting ability for the song “Following Him”. Chris
competed against songwriters from all over the world for
this honor. When asked what inspired the song, Chris
explained “I was given a request to write a song for the
pastor of my church for a ‘Pastor Appreciation’ event.
Because the pastor had been everything a friend should be to
me, it was not hard to come up with a song to express
appreciation.”
Currently Chris
is concentrating on his music career as a middle school
music teacher (Pueblo Middle School in Chandler) and is
heavily involved in the local open mic scene, while hoping
to get some of his music published and performed by high
profile artists. Chris puts it this way, “I love performing
but I recognize my own limitations. It is very rewarding to
hear other people sing
my songs better than I can.”
