Frankie Negron

Just a few years ago, when it seemed that the tropical music movement, specifically salsa, would remain in the hands of its old-school founders, and younger audiences were captivated by other musical genres, a young musician emerged with a distinctive sound and a willingness to court younger listeners. Frankie with an undeniable charm, and a palpable, ever-present personality, took the sentiment of tropical music and fused it with his musical experiences in the U.S. He added the most attractive inflections of contemporary pop music, coupled them with experiences from his Newark, New Jersey upbringing and created a unique mélange of sound and lyrics that characterize his talented efforts. His roots are purely Puerto Rican, and he sings with a voice that lends itself perfectly to salsa with the expert conviction of a rising star whose sights are firmly set on his inevitable future success. 

Ten years have passed since he released his debut record and Frankie remains a young man performing for an audience that has essentially grown up with him. His fans have watched him grow as a singer, a Broadway and film actor and a humanitarian. He continues to capture the attention of the coming generation of listeners and critics with his music, adding them to a legion of fans that spreads across an international spectrum. Although his face is drawn with features that appear more Nordic than Latin, his heart and soul belong to the Puerto Rican culture, and the pride he derives from his roots is obvious in every single performance. Frankie Negrón is, by all accounts, an established and accomplished musical artist. Although Frankie owes his musical career to the genre of tropical music, his recent productions stray slighty from the pure salsa format Frankie Negrón is celebrated for, vying for some mass market appeal by including a distinctive pop sound to his electrifyingsalsa groove.His previous productions have sold millions of copies worldwide. 

Frankie already possesses four Platinum Record awards, one Gold Record award, a Grammy nomination for “Best Salsa Album”, a Latin Grammy nomination for “Best Tropical Production” and two “greatest hits” albums. Frankie’s eighth and current production, Mejor Que Nunca (Better Than Ever), has won the hearts of fans and critics everywhere. Frankie’s music dominates the airwaves of every Latin American country. He is undoubtedly one of today’s most successful and celebrated Latin music stars, and his career will stand as a testament to the vibrant voice, God-given talent, and youthful persona that has earned him a place among the legends of Latin music.
