Bio:
A guitar
received as a gift at the age of six would open up a new world for the young boy
with natural musical talent and a dream to share it with others.
Born Richard
Laughner on December 24, 1960 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Richard Frankz became
an orphan at the age of two. Placed in a Savannah, Georgia foster home with his
two brothers and four other children, Richard took to the guitar early and soon
found himself lost in his world of music. He first stepped onto the stage as a
child, performing at school and community events.
Through his
music that he has sought to answer the questions "Where is my home?" and "What
is my purpose in life?"
By far,
Richard's greatest accomplishment in life is his son, Franke. A gift given to
him when life couldn't seem darker or colder, Franke has been a source of
healing, peace and inspiration. He is an image of his father and loves to
perform alongside him. There is nothing more precious than seeing Franke
mimicking dad, singing "Why Tell Me Why." The song "Soul Of Me" (track 7, "Songs
Within My Soul") was inspired by and written for Franke.
Richard Frankz loves his country
music and his rock and roll, but his real passion is in his ballads. Richard
writes and choreographs all of his music himself. His debut album "Songs Within
My Soul" combines the thoughtful music of yesterday's favorite country ballads
with the upbeat tempo of today's popular music.
Richard has
bared his soul and embraced many causes through his music. He has written songs
like "I Cry Too," dedicated to fight domestic violence. He also wrote "Stand On
Your Own," dedicated to the D.A.R.E. program helping youth take a stand against
drugs.
Now with his
latest album “Point of View”, Richard does not disappoint you with his uncanny
ability to write remarkably insightful songs in nearly every genre imaginable.
From Pop to Rock, Latin to R&B, Richard draws inspiration from every angle and
awes the listener with his melodies, lyrics and hooks. You’ll hear Richard’s
range, from his romantic ballads within “Dear Baby”, “Each Day” to “Knew You at
All” (hitting the charts at 33 during it’s 1st week out), to “Over
and Over” and “Holding On”. Then finally giving you the rock and roll, with
“Beginnings of New” and “Learning How to Fly”.
Currently,
Richard is working on his much anticipated third album “The Traveler” scheduled
for release the beginning of 2007.
