Early career
He was born Francisco Javier Bautista (a.k.a. Frankie J.) in Tijuana and raised in San Diego from the age of 2. He comes from a musical background with his father being the lead singer of a traditional band. Frankie J grew up listening to both traditional Latin music as well as R&B. He attended Southwest High School (San Diego, CA) for his high school years.
As a teenager, he started listening to freestyle music by Lisa Lisa, Brenda K. Starr and George Lamond. He started writing his own songs and singing in the same falsetto style as Lamond. At 15, he signed a contract with a Canadian independent label working as Frankie Boy and recorded songs which failed to achieve any success. In 1997, he signed with Jellybean Benitez.
In the late 1990s, he joined Kumbia Kings and was a member of that successful Latin group touring throughout Latin America. The group played in front of 100,000 people in a concert in Monterrey, Mexico.
Frankie's ambitions were always directed to the American pop-music markets. In 2002 He approached Los Kumbia Kings mangement in an attempt to secure record deal as a solo-artist. He proposed that they record, promote, and market him to the "MTV" market. A vastly diffent music culture then what Los Kumbia Kings made their name in, but Management declined, citing the risky investment. Frankie then shopped demos to an array of record companies, and garnered a tremendous amount of interest, but his contract with The Kumbia Kings would prove to be a problem.
Frankie asked to be his released from his Kumbia Kings contract, but they declined. Frankie bolted from the group anyway, but soon found himself in court over the matter. Lawsuits were filed from both sides, and eventually settled out of court. Details of the settlement were not disclosed.
Solo Career
Frankie J signed as a solo artist with Columbia Records and released his first album What's A Man To Do in 2003 which failed to chart. His self-titled first Spanish-language album was released later in the same year. The single "Don't Wanna Try" peaked in the top 10 on Billboard's Hot 100 Singles Chart, while "Ya No Eres Igual" was top 10 on the World Latin charts.
He collaborated with Baby Bash, a relative, on another pop hit called "Suga Suga" which reached #1 in New Zealand in 2004 and was a top 10 hit in the US and Australia in the same year. Frankie J worked with a number of wellknown producers on The One including Irv Gotti of Murder Inc. on the title track. Mario Winans on a track called "Just Can't Say It's Love". The first single "Obsession (No Es Amor)" featuring Baby Bash has been a big hit on the US pop charts reaching the top 5 in April 2005. The One was released in the US in April 2005 and debuted at #3 on both the Billboard 200 chart. The follow-up singles "How To Deal" and "More Than Words" (released in conjunction with a DualDisc re-release of The One) continued the album's route to platinum sales. However, the fourth and final single, the title track featuring 3LW garnered few spins at radio.
Jermaine Dupri & Mannie Fresh are among two of the big producers for Frankie's next English studio album which will be released in the 4th quarter of 2006. The untitled album's first single will be "That Girl" which was produced by Mannie Fresh and features both Mannie Fresh and rapper Slim Thug. A version which excludes Slim Thug and replaces him with Chamillionaire exists and can be found online and on the official promo cds.
Frankie J's second Spanish-language album "Un Nuevo Dia" has already been released.

With the smile upon your face
And all I could say is damn you're beautiful

💖 English Lyrics 💕💖
Long time ago I heard
Someone who advised me "beware of love"
And so I saw that
You're strong and I'm not
My illusion was my mistake
For you I neglected, for you
(Chorus)
And today I have nothing to say
It's so easy for you to lie
I invite you to tell them that you have won
Tell them that I loved you
That my soul is in pain
That I don't regret
Shout it to the wind
Tell them that it was a dream
That today it became small
That it's still burning in me
Tell them that ours was
Impossible (x4)
Forgetting about love it's not so easy as loving
It's not normal to ignore you I know it, I know it
And to think that you will fool me again with dreaming
Your promises that go I know, I know
(Chorus)
And today I have nothing to say
It's so easy for you to lie
I invite you to tell them that you have won
Tell them that I loved you
That my soul is in pain
That I don't regret
Shout it to the wind
Tell them that it was a dream
That today it became small
That it's still burning in me
Tell them that ours was
Impossible (x4)
It was... impossible (x4)
Long time ago I heard
Someone who advised me "beware of love" and so...
(Chorus)
And today I have nothing to say
It's so easy for you to lie
I invite you to tell them that you have won
Tell them that I loved you
That my soul is in pain
That I don't regret
Shout it to the wind
Tell them that it was a dream
That today it became small
That it's still burning in me
Tell them that ours was
Impossible (x4)
It was... impossible (x4)
Long time ago I heard
Someone who advised me "beware of love" and so I saw...

Hace tiempo que escuche
Alguien que me aconsejo cuídate con el amor
& Así yo vi que;
Eras fuerte & yo no
Mi ilusión era mi error
Yo por ti me descuide por ti)
& Hoy que no tengo nada por decir
Que tan fácil te queda mentir
Que as ganado te invito a decirles.
Diles que te amaba
Que me duele el alma
Que no me arrepiento
Gritaselo al viento
Diles que fue un sueño
Que hoy se hizo pequeño
Que aun me quema dentro
Diles que lo nuestro fue
Impossible 4x
Olvidarse del amor no es tan fácil como amar
Ignorarte no es normal lo se, lo se
& Pensar que volverás a engañarme con soñar
Tus promesas que van ya se, ya se)

Que tan fácil te queda mentir
Que as ganado te invito a decirles.
Diles que te amaba

Jamás creí que una canción reflejara la historia de amor de alguien, como en mi caso, así tal cual. Al escucharla por 1ra vez dolió tanto que las lágrimas caían sin darme cuenta. Ahora veo que fue solo un aprendizaje más para mi.✨💜
