Chad "C Sharp" Franklin, a multitalented keyboard player especially known for his smooth, funky, savvy and innovative style has become one of St. Louis's most "in demand" musicians.
A self taught musician, vocalist, and writer since the early age of 8, Chad started focusing on music as his main purpose in life. With a natural ear for music, he taught himself how to play the piano and later expanded his talents to the French Horn, Trumpet and Organ.
C Sharp's intense love for a variety of music from Jazz to Gospel, R&b to Hip Hop, & even Pop, surely has come from some of his musical influences such as Shedrick Mtichell, George Duke, Prince, and all the awesome musicians that he has shared the stage with. His professionalism, passion and versatility has lead to his stage name, "C Sharp", which is also his favorite key. But above all, his inspiration and talent are directly related to his faith in God.
Performing nationally and internationally from New York to Africa, C Sharp has performed with some of the world's most talented artists, some of which include Jon B., Gary "G" Jenkins (from Silk), Jaguar Wright, Eric Roberson, Murphy Lee and many others. Not to mention opening for a number of acts such as Musiq Soulchild, Morris Day and the Time, Boyz II Men, Faith Evans, and John Legend. He has toured all over the U.S., Ghana West Africa and recorded with Cody Chestnut (Affiliate of " The Roots").
C Sharp received a diploma from Hazelwood East High School in St. Louis, Mo where he performed in the Jazz band, the Concert choir (first ever Robert Shaw award winner) and was instrumental in running the school's Gospel choir. He also attended Lindenwood University and Harris-Stowe State University where he studied music under the tutelage of St. Louis's legendary director, Dr. Doris Wilson and Nationally known "Barbershop quartet" extraordinaire Jim Henry. He was also one of the original pioneers in the world-renowned St. Louis African Chorus.
C Sharp is one the most humble and professonial musicians that you will ever meet.
