Frenchie Davis for Obama!

DREAM BIG!!

About Me

I am originally from Los Angeles. I went to Howard University in Washington DC, where I studied theatre. Earlier this year I finished a four year run in the Broadway show RENT and after enduring four New York winters, I am glad to be back home in LA. These days, I am enjoying the sunshine and still dreaming big! I know that without the love and support of my fans, I could not and would not be here, so I created this page as a means of communicating more personally with them. I would also love to chat and meet with other artists. And if you're not an artist or a fan, and you're just a regular person who happened across this page, holla at your girl anyway!!!
