Montell Fish

Montell James Frazier (born October 19, 1997), also known as Montell Fish, is an American singer-songwriter. Formerly making music under the CCM genre, he switched to alternative R&B and neo soul. He has since signed to Virgin Music Group for distribution and released two albums under the deal: Jamie in 2022 and Charlotte in 2024.

Early life Montell James Frazier was born on October 19, 1997, in the Beechview neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. His mother was a devout Christian, but his father was not. They split when Fish was six months old. He had previously released a mixtape entitled My Friend's Couch and an EP called King David EP. My Friend's Couch detailed his experiences with weed and drugs, something that he veered away from following his conversion to Christianity and the release of his second and third projects.

In 2021, Fish began to gain popularity from secular songs he was releasing, with the songs "Talk 2 Me" and "Fall in Love with You" especially going viral on TikTok. In July 2022, he and his record label, Lord's Child, signed to Virgin Music Label and Artist Services. He released his second studio album, Jamie, on July 22, 2022, pivoting away from Christian rap and entering alternative R&B and neo soul. It was conceived after a breakup when Fish did not want to continue making gospel or CCM anymore and wanted to experiment. The album is the first in a trilogy with the theme of grief, with Charlotte being released on September 27, 2024 and Marshall yet to be released. In August 2022, Fish performed "Darling", from Jamie, on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. On October 28, 2022, he released the EP Her Love Still Haunts Me Like a Ghost, which he described as a transitional project between his trilogy. It released on the opening night of his A Night With A Ghost Tour in North America. His third studio album, Charlotte, was released on September 27, 2024, under his new label, JCM. It detailed the mid-stages of grief.

Personal life Fish converted to Christianity in 2015, and it was a central theme in his early music. Despite moving away from making Christian music in 2021, Fish is still very religious. Fish likes to create characters to represent parts of his past when making music; Ghost Boy, for example, is the persona on Her Love Still Haunts Me Like a Ghost.
