About

I’m Fraser Grant, a Manchester-based freelance musician and recording engineer with a 1st Class BMus in Popular Music (Bass Guitar) from RNCM. Since 2017 I’ve balanced performing with hands-on studio work, collaborating with independent artists and function bands while building a strong engineering toolkit. I’m passionate about capturing great performances, delivering solid mixes, and continually expanding my skill set through diverse projects. I’m always looking for new opportunities and collaborations, including organisations like The Untold Orchestra.

Beyond the studio, I teach and mentor as a musician and producer, sharing techniques in recording, arrangement, and performance. I enjoy meeting new people, coordinating with teams, and helping projects reach their creative potential through thoughtful production and precise technical work.
