About Me

LyricsBorn to Rock! Played bass since age 14 in many groups mainly in the 80's. When the 90's hit Frankie started expanding his horizons & started backing several R&B artists while also dabbling in his love of fusion & funk. From the late 90's through today Frankie continues in his persistent passion of writing & performing his music while also further expanding his bounds on several other instruments from guitar to keys. In addition he has co-written tunes with & produced several up & coming artists. As you can hear; the man's got a lot of metal in his blood & continues to record in that genre' & tries to keep it alive! Keep on listining for new material. Frankie exclusively endorses Hartke Speaker Systems & Tobias Strings.
