I am an independent urban artist, who have been trying to make a name for myself in the music industry. I also perforom with the music group 'Unique' which is a band that is signed to my independent label. Yes!! I also have my own record label, but it is very small right no. I create music in all categories, but over the last year have done mostly urban projects. I have been in the production industry since 1992 but mainly in a combination of music and video. These days I am only focusing on the music.
So I have been around, and have networked with people in the industry from all around the world. My home base is now in the Bahamas, and you can find me there anytime either working on music or producing an album.Band/artist history
Born in the Bahamas, educated in both the United States and the UK, and lived between the UK and the Caribbean for the last seven years, one can find Franky nowadays chillin in the Bahamas. I first came on the production scene in 1992 and released my first video production entitled the "Total Balance" which was a Caribbean fitness video. After marketing promoting and working that for a few years, I then moved on to complete all of my academic studies. I completed both undergraduate and graduate studies and earned Masters degree ultimately from one of the top universities in the UK.
I never lost the passion for the industry and went back hard to work in 2000, and has released four independently released albums since, on Unique Records, which is my own label.I am currently working on the release of my next album, which should be completed by the end of 2005, but will be released in 2006. I have been totally dedicated only to the music production side of the business since 2000, and over the last year have been busy touring and doing live events in Spain and the UK.
'Metamorphosis' as you see it is my first solo project featuring a few artists that also collaborated with me on this. I have also produced two other albums for one of my artists, that are now being promoted over the internet, and also getting ready for some distribution. In this business its work non stop, and sleepless nights. I think that great success for me will come as I continue to work hard, not only in the studio but also on the business side as well. After all I have been here since 1992, and thats over 13 years so there is no stopping now. What you see and hear was written, produced and released on my label. On this album I do give some credit to a good friend who produced a few tracks, even though I had to add to it to appeal to my taste.
I produce music in any style. You will even hear some European dance tracks, mixed in with a bit of urban flava. Even some stuff that you never heard before, but that is what it is all about. The ability to be different and develop something new. Despite this I do mostly urban projects, so this album must be understood by all who hear it. Its not just lyrics and beats. Its about something new, or the ability to cross over into any music genre and create music that people enjoy. It describes me, and it also shows my diversity in being able to do a variety of diferent styles of music. So that is what this is about. Its about my talent and music skills. The next album that you hear from me released on my label, will be strictly urban material. This will however catergorize me, and place me into my own specific category. Nevertheless, I am pleased with the people response to my music ideas, and I will continue to bring it for generations to come!!
So Live And Let Live!!
YA DONE KNOW!Have you performed in front of an audience?Ye I do play live and I love it!! I have performed live in Spain and the UK. I have not performed live yet in the Bahamas and America, but that is the next move. My last show that I did in the UK was special because it was an efforet to bring together an entire community, which worked out very well.
Your musical influences
I love artists who have come from the bottom and worked their way to the top. People such as 50 cent, Eminem,Dr.Dre. I am more into hip hop and R&B but also likes a bit of rock music as well.What equipment do you use?
I simply use a very powerful laptop and my Fruity Loops. Other stuff I do in studio on other hardware.Anything else?
Rated at no.1 on the unitedbands music network for two weeks in a row. go to google search engine and type danielle and franky, and see what I have been doing this year.
