Record Signing’s: Signed to Motown’s short-lived jazz label “MoJazz” from 1992 until 1994. In 1994, Frank left Motown and joined Branford Marsalis' versatile and eclectic band Buckshot LeFonque where he was able to lend his vocal chops to the hit song “Another Day”. It was this featured performance that would lead to a recording contract with Columbia Records in 1998 where Frank would record and release his debut CD “Love Stories” in 2000. In 2003, Frank would go on to sign with Malibu Sessions for the release of his 2nd CD entitled “The Truth Vol.1”.

Flying Solo: After a bit of soul searching, Frank decided to release his works independently and in 2004 he released his 3rd CD, “Straight From The Vault”, an entirely self-written, self-produced and self-recorded CD that would win him the “SoulTracks Readers Choice Award” for “Best Album of the Year” and in 2005 earn him a spotlight with Jill Scott in Oprah Winfrey’ s highly respected “O Magazine” as one of Ms. Scott's favorite CD's.

“Straight From The Vault” was followed by eleven album releases between 2006 and today under Frank’s own Boobeescoot Music label. Frank's soulful offering, "Soulmate" (released November 18, 2014) is a 4-song EP that is currently gaining the recognition and respect of some of music's top critics. The complete EP "Soulmate: Another Love Story" will be released in the summer of 2016. Frank was also named one of the 27 greatest keyboard players of all time by “Music Radar”.
