Reporter Lauren Scott recently caught up with Frankie M. to learn more about this intriguing artist and the inspiration behind what is clearly a captivating new sound. 

 

LAUREN: When you first began making music, did you ever think you would take it this far?  

FRANKIE M: Yes, I knew that music was going to be a major part of my life. 

LAUREN: Your new single is currently getting a great response on radio. How would you describe your new single? 

FRANKIE M: The new single called 'She's A Cat' was written over thirty years ago for my kids. It was a fun recording that I did with my former band. Looking through my archived music I rediscovered it and was convinced by friends to release the song as a single. 

LAUREN: How has your music changed since you first began? 

FRANKIE M: I don't believe music changes; it is just interpreted differently by different artists. 

LAUREN: What is your creative process when it comes to songwriting? 

FRANKIE M: Sometimes I'll get a flash of inspiration in the form of a line, or a melody or sometimes just a word or phrase, and it develops from there. 

LAUREN: During this creative process, where do your musical ideas come from? 

Frankie M: Musical ideas are all around us, all you have to do is observe and listen with your inner voice. 

LAUREN: How do you feel about the dramatic changes in the music business over the past decade? 

FRANKIE M: I feel that the music business is evolving in a very rapid pace. I think that technology has given many independent artists a voice. There are more opportunities to be heard though more difficulty for music promotion. 

LAUREN: What is the best compliment you ever received? 

FRANKIE M: A standing ovation, that's the ultimate compliment for a performer. 

LAUREN: What do you find most rewarding about being an artist? If you embarked on a world tour, what is the first city you would want to perform in?  

FRANKIE M: My birthplace, New York City. 

LAUREN: If you could sit down with one of your favorite artists, who would it be and what would you ask them? 

 FRANKIE M: It would have to be Tony Bennet and I would ask how he lasted so long on top. 

LAUREN: Is there a particular era in music that you draw the most inspiration from (ex. 70's, 80's, 90's etc.)? 

 FRANKIE M: From the 40's and 50's. 

LAUREN: When you are working on a song, who is the first person you share it with?  

FRANKIE M: My singing partner and my close musical friends. 

LAUREN: What new music are you working on and when will fans get to hear it? 

FRANKIE M: I'm working on a new Swing album. It will be released in the Summer of 2021. 

LAUREN: That sounds great! Thank you for giving us more insight into your life as an artist. I wish you much continued success in your career!  

Frankie M: Thank You Lauren
