With a decidedly organic vocal sound lending substance to his signature style, Frank Ortega navigates his way through the Nashville machine very thoughtfully in order not to sterilize his raw emotion. With three consecutive Billboard charting singles, Frank has performed shows with Dwight Yoakam, The Mavericks and many more. He is the only Latin male solo artist in the world on the American Country Billboard charts over the last decade. He truly is the Latin voice of American Country music. Frank has performed and even hosted CMA sanctioned stages during CMA Fest, he's a registered songwriter with BMI and is forging forward in his own niche of Country music and like some of the greatest country artists before him, Frank is forging his own path.
That path began in Arizona, born in Tempe and raised in Phoenix, Frank is one of five children and the third son of Joe and Jessie Ortega. Growing up in the Ortega household was lively, to say the least as his home was constantly filled with music. Johnny Cash, Marty Robbins, and Buck Owens were regulars on the family turntable along with weekend family gatherings that included Mariachis.. trumpets and all. It came as no surprise to Frank's parents when he asked them to purchase him a trumpet while in the fifth grade, this began Frank's love affair with music.
At 15 Frank began teaching himself to play piano and guitar, at 16 he wrote his first song. When Frank turned 20 he started recording his songs in local Arizona studios and within a year, he heard himself on Arizona radio for the first time and things were never quite the same, he realized the power of radio to share his music with the masses. Now more than ever, Frank has a strong sense of himself as an artist and has a long history of performing, writing and recording.
Frank travels to various radio stations for interviews and performances in support of his music, this Latin tattooed American country music singer knows exactly where he wants to be in life and is truly all about the journey... not the destination. Frank will continue to carve his own path as he always has, he will continue to believe things are said best through a country song and he will go... wherever the music takes him. http://www.frankortega.com/Bio.html
