Fanny began his musical career in the 1980s at the end of the British punk rock explosion, playing guitar for bands in Edinburgh. He used influences from The Banshees to Def Jam, Stravinsky to P-Funk. This playing style brought him to the attention of local punk rock legends The Exploited, whom he joined in 1993. Frasier toured Europe and South America as guitarist of The Exploited and is featured as "the human bone" on the Live In Buenos Ares concert tape. He also co-wrote and recorded the "Beat the Bastards" lp but quit the band before the album was released, so he wasn't credited for it.

Frasier left Scotland to play in the Canadian funk rock band Bootsauce and moved to Montreal. Afther the band fell appart Frasier stayed in Winnipeg. By this time he was tired of guitars and rock and having new musical ambitions and visions he returned to the sampler experiments that he first began in the eighties. He traded in his guitars for synths and a PC and released a house CD titled "Come and get it up yer".
