Story
With a voice that echoes the great legends of Latin music, Italian-Chilean singer-songwriter Franno has left an indelible mark on the Spanish-language music scene. After many years of saving lives as a doctor, Franno now heals hearts and creates connections through one of his greatest passions: music. On April 4, 2024, fans enjoyed his highly anticipated single "Yo Te Amaré". On May 16, 2024, his debut album "Historia de Amor" was released, a deeply personal album that blends a love for romantic music with contemporary nuances, rapidly gaining several million streams across various platforms.
At a time when the world seems to have lost some of its connection to authenticity, Franno emerges as the answer that music needed. "Historia de Amor" is not just an album, but a response to the universal need to revive deep emotions that go beyond love between two people. Franno's music returns to the roots of a forgotten style, one that we all needed to feel again: passion, connection, and empathy in every note, reaching everyone, regardless of age, culture, or context.
From his youth in Chile, Franno developed an intense passion for music, beginning his artistic journey at 14. Although his career led him to medicine, specializing in nephrology and intensive care in the United States, music was always his true calling. After completing his training, Franno decided to make a change in his life and dedicate himself to telling stories that touch the soul through music, aiming to share a message of love and unity that resonates with people from all walks of life and generations.
With advanced training as a lyrical tenor under the direction of acclaimed tenor Michael Trimble, Franno has perfected a vocal technique that allows him to navigate masterfully through various genres. His voice reminds us of the most iconic figures of Latin music from the 60s-80s, evoking nostalgia, while his fresh style introduces a new perspective into contemporary Latin music. Described by some as a "modern Sandro" and the "reincarnation of Nino Bravo's voice," Franno has quickly captivated thousands of followers on platforms such as Instagram and YouTube.
The album Historia de Amor will mark a turning point in his career, showcasing his incredible talent, wide vocal range, and ability to blend the rich tradition of romantic Latin music with contemporary sounds and emotions. Produced by the acclaimed Rafa Sardina, a multiple Grammy award winner, the album will feature collaborations with legendary musicians such as Carmine Rojas (former bassist for David Bowie), Victor Indrizzo (drummer for Alanis Morissette), Jeff Babko, and Gabi Martínez. These collaborations raise the level of the production, adding a musical richness that reinforces the message of unity, bringing the power of music to every corner of the world.
Franno is not only presenting an album, but a declaration of love for music, life, and the passion that drives us to follow our dreams, while never losing sight of the connections we share as human beings. His unique style and commanding vocal presence position him as a leading figure in contemporary Latin music, bringing with him the revival of a musical style that connects with every generation and that we all needed to feel again.
My story of how I came to find you begins on this path, where I was searching for peace, tranquility, and comfort after long days working as an intensive care physician in the ICU during the height of the pandemic.
Those years taught me that life is fragile, that everything can change in an instant, and that there’s no time to waste when it comes to living with purpose. It was in this place that I decided to return to my roots and pursue a dream I’ve had since I was a child: to make music and share my songs with the world, hoping to connect emotionally with those who listen.
I chose medicine, but music never stopped living within me. Throughout my career, there were deeply moving moments when both came together, and through my voice, I was able to reach my patients in a different way. Witnessing how a song could soothe the soul in the midst of illness was one of the most transformative experiences of my life.
Eighteen years later, after accompanying many people through critical moments and helping them move forward from the most fragile place in life, I came to understand something essential: dreams don’t have an expiration date. We can’t spend our lives waiting for the perfect moment to pursue them. The pandemic reminded me, both harshly and beautifully, of the importance of living the present with intensity, because tomorrow is a mystery that is never guaranteed.
Historia de Amor is not just an album, it's an emotional experience. Through 11 songs connected chronologically from beginning to end, I tell a love story that is also the story of my life, with all its joys and difficult moments.
I want to connect with you from a real place, without masks. And maybe, through the lyrics of these songs, find a new way to heal... a kind of soul medicine.
