Offical Single :: Frankie J 'Crush' :: Produced by hAZEL of Vanguards Music

2009-11-11T11:06:00.000-08:00

Its OFFICIAL!!! Frankie J and his fans have chosen 'Crush ' (Produced byhAZEL) as his official single.

Hailing from Tulsa, Oklahoma hAZEL met up with DJ Kemo after moving to Vancouver. Soon after hAZEL became an official member of Vanguards Music. More importantly, hAZEL is the melodic piece of the group and was the other contributing member to creating the beat for Kardinal's chart topping 'Dangerous.'

Frankie J's got heart. The platinum-selling pop maestro's inimitable voice combines Latin swagger and R&B soul, propelling infectious, unforgettable tunes. In fact, Frankie's carried more than a few hooks to the top of the charts, including "Don't Wanna Try," "Suga Suga" and "Obsession." He's garnered Radio Music, Latin Grammy and Latin Billboard award nominations, and he's received three BMI awards for his chart-topping tracks. Other big singles have included "That Girl" featuringMannie Fresh and Chamillionaire, as well as Frankie's personal cover of Extreme's"More than Words." His massive success comes as a result of distinct cross-cultural and cross-genre appeal.
