Frankie Jr. started mixing in 1996 at the tender age of 16. His record collecting addiction began at age 5, when he would force his Mom & Dad to buy him albums by artists like Michael Jackson, Prince, Celia Cruz, and Tito Puente. He also played the Saxophone from ages 8 to 14 in school bands and beyond.
In the Summer of 1993 Frankie attended an all night warehouse party called the Gathering in the San Francisco Bay Area that blew him away and changed his life for ever. Soon after he bought some Technics turntables and a mixer and began to shop for house records. He has never looked back since.
At the turn of the century Frankie moved to Manchester, England to study studio technology (sound engineering and live recording) at Manchester Midi School. During his stay there he was able to grace the decks at many events such as the Touch parties in Edinburgh, Scotland and underground afterhours parties in Manchester, England.
Since returning home to SF, Frankie played in the 2004 Love Parade and Love Fest 2006 with fellow residents from Late Night Events. Frankie has played alongside extraordinary talent such as Jask, David Harness, DJ Heather,Jay-J, Pete Avila, Julius "The Mad Thinker", M3, Franky Boissy, RaSoul, DJ Carlos, Kwashi, Rick Preston, Eric Davenport, Greg Eversoul, BB Hayes, Hector Moralez, Chris Carrier, David Coleman & Sen-Sei and Ellen Ferrato to name a few. Frankie currently holds down a residency with TruSoul, RiseSF.com & Essential-Nightlife.com so don't miss your chance to catch his appearances in a venue near you!!!!
