Biography

  • At age 15, he was a Freestyle artist for the label Ventura Records. He went by the name 'Frankie Boy'. He had a couple of songs, like "She's Leaving" and "My Precious Love" but didn't achieve much success in his music career until later when he joined the Latino group 'Los Kumbia Kings', which was a Spanish-language mix of Cumbia, pop, rap, and R&B. In 2000, they crossed over to an English language album and had the hit single "U Don't Love Me". That time, he went by the name Cisko. He finally made his solo debut in 2003 with the hit "Don't Wanna Try", which he says was the song that he owes his whole career to as 'Frankie J'.
