M[E]xican-born artist Frankie J has never been one to look back. At the age of two his uncle took him and his siblings trick-or-treating across the border into San Diego. Except they never went back.

Born in Tijuana, Mexico, but raised in San Diego, Frankie J has been making music since his teenage years, both as a solo artist and as a member of Los Kumbia Kings. In 2003, he released the R&B-flavored album "What's A Man To Do," finding a hit single with the track "Don't Wanna Try."

Tijuana native Frankie J. has recently released a Spanish version of his latest, self-titled, English-language CD on Sony Discos. With a great artistic divide amongst those artists who make the cross-over from their Native Spanish to English, Frankie J. has done something slightly different. He’s gone from English to Spanish. However, instead of a mere translation of one recording to another, he’s ... added four new songs to the all-Spanish record with some help from former Luis Miguel collaborator, Kiko Ciprian, who resides here in San Diego, as well.

In 2003, he released the R&B-flavored album What's A Man To Do, finding a hit single with the track "Don't Wanna Try." Shortly thereafter, he dropped a self-titled Spanish LP, which furthered his growing rep and cross-cultural appeal. In early 2005, Frankie J scored another hit with the romantically minded single "Obsession (No Es Amor)." He followed that up with the full-length The One, featuring collaborations with Irv Gotti, Lil Flip, Baby Bash, and Mario Winans.
