Biography
    
A Detroit native,[1] Frasure (DJ Telemitry), now lives in Nashville, Tennessee with his wife Stevie Frasure. Frasure began his music career working at Major Bob Music in Nashville, eventually rising to VP of A&R and also signing a publishing and production deal with the company.[2] In June 2016, Roc Nation Nashville and Warner/Chappell Music launched Rhythm House, a venture led by Frasure, serving as General Manager. Rhythm House includes Frasure's own writing and production activities, as well as the signing and development of other composers and producers.[3]
Growing up, he was surrounded by a family with a passion for music. His father often played in bands full of Motown and classic rock. As a college student at Michigan State University, Frasure first began programming his own music, heavily influenced by his love for electronic dance and the mix of his Motown roots.[4] He then moved to Nashville, finishing his college career at Belmont University,[5] It was there that a passion for even more styles of music grew.
Throughout his career, Frasure has merged his love for all genres of music to diversify his sound. He has produced, co-written, or remixed for artists including Kylie Minogue, Meghan Trainor,[6] Florida Georgia Line, Fancy, Luke Bryan, Rascal Flatts, Billy Currington, Brett Kissel, Gary Allan, Hot Chelle Rae, Jordin Sparks.[7] In 2015, he reached the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Country charts with his Florida Georgia Line co-write "Sun Daze".[8]
