Touring, Recording and Just “Making Music!”
Hi, I'm Annelisa Franklin and I live in Nashville, Tennessee. I spend most of my time writing, recording and performing my own brand of popular music. Thanks for exploring my website.
I started my music career at age ten and since then I've written more than a hundred and forty five songs, completed two albums, performed over 82 concerts, 12 live radio performances, 3 live TV performances in 9 years of professional experience. I had most of my early musical adventures with my older sister, Adriana.
I do music because I love it. I play and sing for the fun of it. I was born in LA and moved to a small, mountain resort town in Arizona when I was seven years old. Throughout my travels, I've found that the big city also feels like home so I'm part open fields and pickup trucks, and part city skylines and giant billboards. Naturally, my music reflects both aspects of who I am. I write songs that strike an emotional chord with most audiences. The sound is American story telling with a Pop flavor. I like reaching a wide and diverse audience.
Playing my songs to a crowd of people, making that face to face, heart to heart connection, is where the real enchantment happens. Watching people dance and sing along to my music makes all the road hazards like bus breakdowns and funky motels worth it. I’ve got over 82 gigs under my belt and I look forward to getting back on the road.
Telling stories and helping people feel emotions through song, that’s a magic all its’ own. When someone comes up to me and says that I'm telling their story, well, there’s nothing more inspiring. One of the many joys of songwriting is exploring different genres and styles. I get to do that when I write for other artists, and even for film and television.
I've recorded two albums so far. All these experiences have given me the best musical education any artist could ask for. Along with studying vocal technique with Steven Memel, I 've gotten to work with some excellent music professionals and learned that creating a fun, cooperative atmosphere should be the goal of every artistic collaboration.
Performing is the work I love, and the studio is my vacation. I like to joke that to me, R&R means rehearsing and recording. I want to see my name on concert tickets and hear my songs on the radio, but I'm fueled by my music connecting with everybody who will enjoy it.
xo,
Annelisa Franklin
