Stan Frazier (born Charles Stanton Frazier on April 23, 1968) is the drummer of rock band Sugar Ray.
He was born and raised in Orange County, California.
He is married to Jennifer Casinelli-Frazier. They have one daughter: Anabelle Frazier.
While attending Corona del Mar High School Stan & friends formed a cover band inspired by the group The Jam. That band, initially called The Tories, went on to become The Shrinky Dinx, and eventually became Sugar Ray.
Aside from drums, Stan also plays acoustic guitar, does background vocals, writes and produces. He has produced albums for several other artists- including Ashlee Simpson and The Dirty Heads.
He was the lead writer of Sugar Ray's "Fly" which includes a lyric about his mother's death. Though "Fly" turned out to be the band's biggest hit, Stan was initially rejected for it since it's pop-feel was, at the time, a departure from the band's sound.
He has two dogs: Chloe and Lady. Both of whom can be seen on the inside sleeve of the 2001 Sugar Ray self-titled album.[1]
With the band, Stan has appeared in the films Scooby-Doo and Father's Day, as well as the TV series Las Vegas.[2]
