Biography
Fraize is the artist project of Martin Bruss — a drummer, filmmaker and creative director shaped by nearly four decades in Berlin, now based on the Atlantic coast in Biarritz. Moving between analog soul and digital precision, Fraize blends soul pop, electro funk, jazzy synths, indie pop and cinematic electronics. Minimal but emotional. Precise but warm. Groove-driven, yet full of space.
Future Sound. Human Soul.
Decades spent working with music, film, direction, editing and design shape every release — from the first idea and lyric to the final sound and image. The visual world of Fraize features recurring fictional characters and digital performers — part band, part cinema, part imagination. Technology is part of the process — shaping selected vocals, performances and visuals. Experience and know-how give them direction and meaning.
Soul pop. Jazzy synths. Electro funk. Dog-powered music.
Unmistakably Fraize.
