There’s a New Spark of LIGHT in Nashville!
Frank Light ~ An up and coming artist with a soulful tenor voice. Frank has a passion for performing, and is the new spark of light that country music has been searching for.
His vocal presence is energetic and full of vitality. He has the ability to transform heartfelt songs from artists such as Vince Gill, Bryan White and Steve Wariner to make them feel like his own. The raw talent he possesses will take him far. “His sense of self and style as an artist is extraordinary" says The Write Stuff Music Producer Toby Steele. "It has been a treat to watch him develop....I'm impressed by what he brings to the table.” Frank’s creativity stems from his determination to build a long lasting career in the Country Music industry. The title track of Franks first CD “Heartbeat” was picked to be on WCEN’s Best of the Backyard Bootleg 1999 CD.
His performances over the last few years have helped him hone his vocal skills and techniques. In time, he decided Nashville was the only place to seriously pursue his music.
As a fan of country music, Frank has been eager to carry the torch for it. As an artist, however, he has also felt the urge to express his imagination and vocal skills by going beyond the limits of traditional country standards. Rick Parnell from The Thin Black Line Studio had this to say: "This guy is the real thing. He's got a strong melodic voice and a solid song sense.” Frank delivers songs with honesty, innocence and a purity of spirit that has made him very popular among his listening public. While Frank’s creative horizons are expanding, the core of his appeal remains the same - wholesome, handsome and talented.
Like George Strait, Frank is primarily an artist as opposed to a singer / songwriter. Song writing doesn’t come as smoothly for him. Frank feels that with so many extraordinary writers right here in Nashville, why look anywhere else. Six of the seven songs such as “Fools Like Us,” “Center Stage,” and “My Saving Grace,” come from the rich music catalog of Sharp Objects.
There is a lot of excitement about the bright future this young man has and he is an artist that is not to be overlooked. Frank says “I grew up listening to everything, but it was Country Music that made its mark on me… I want to make my mark in Country Music”. We will all be watching for his star to shine, making his presence known. He is on his way to becoming a classic in the country music industry.
With his natural gifts and with individuals like Steven Sharp, Sheryl Loftis, and Herb Tassin behind him, 2008 figures to be year when the music of Frank Light shines very brightly indeed.
