It was this featured performance that would lead to a recording contract with Columbia Records in 1998 where Frank would record and release his debut CD “Love Stories” in 2000. In 2003, Frank would go on to sign with Malibu Sessions for the release of his 2nd CD entitled “The Truth Vol.1”.

“Straight From The Vault” was followed by eleven album releases between 2006 and today under Frank’s own Boobeescoot Music label.
