艺人介绍

创作和演唱实力兼具的R&B歌手Frankie J,全名Francisco Javier Bautista,1980年11月14日出生于墨西哥提华纳,成长于美国圣迭戈市。他在两岁时随父母一起来到美国圣迭戈,从小一直说西班牙语,受到cumbias、rancheras(墨西哥传统民俗音乐)和bandas(侧重铜管乐器的墨西哥舞曲)等音乐的熏陶,当然他钟爱的歌手也包括Michael Jackson、Run-DMC、Stevie Wonder和Brian McKnight。在转向R&B之前,他还听Rap和都市流行音乐。受到家人的鼓励,他在中学就开始唱歌,参加各种才艺表演和比赛。

15岁时,他被加拿大独立舞曲厂牌挖掘,以拉丁Freestyle歌手推出数张轰动舞池的单曲,97年被舞曲界金牌制作人Jellybean Benitez赏识,却未能顺利发行专辑。1999年,他转而加入一支德州乐团Los Kumbia King担任主唱与创作。在乐团历经了3年多的巡演和创作磨炼后,一直有单飞抱负的他被Sony Music集团签入,于2003年发行了攻入Top17的首张R&B风格的专辑What's A Man To Do,专辑中以自身恋情经验为题创作出深切刺痛男人心的分手恋歌Don't Wanna Try,突破Billboard层层排行关卡,率先攻破Billboard流行单曲销售榜TOP 10,再克TOP 40电台排行榜TOP 14,最后挺进流行单曲榜TOP 19 。

Tijuana-born and San Diego-raised contemporary R&B artist Frankie J was raised on a steady diet of Latin music and American artists like Michael Jackson and Run-D.M.C. At the age of 15, he was involved with the Latin freestyle scene and released a series of singles on a Canadian dance label. A 1997 signing with Jellybean Benitez's Hola label never panned out, but he landed on his feet when he became a member of los Kumbia Kings. After a few years with the group, J went solo with 2003's What's a Man to Do?, a collection of ballad-dominated material that was released on Columbia. One (2005), Un Nuevo Día (2006), and Priceless (also 2006) followed.
