Jill Fraser (composer)

While she was still in high school, composer Roger Hannay heard her compositions and allowed her to attend his classes at the University of North Carolina.

Fraser went on to earn a Bachelor of Music degree from East Carolina University, where she studied with Otto Henry and composed her first electronic works using a Moog IIIp modular synthesizer system.

Her clients include Lexus, BMW, Honda, Porsche, Nissan, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Suzuki, NBC, Apple, Adidas, Estee Lauder, Baskin Robbins, Yamaha Motorcycles, Bose, Carl's Junior, Hardee's, Mattel, Nike, and National Geographic, among many others.

In 1982, Fraser co-composed the score (with Nitzsche) for the movie "Personal Best," the directorial debut of Oscar-winning screenwriter Robert Towne and the first starring role for Mariel Hemingway.

[10] Fraser's performances with Roth were part of the vibrant Los Angeles punk and spoken word scene curated by Harvey Kubernik, opening for acts such as the Minutemen and Henry Rollins.
