Frankie Biggz

At the beginning of 2011 in his special live broadcast of his birthday party, he announced that he's currently recording IreneB's second record and he's already started working in his son Marcus "Romantic" Lucio's first record.

In early 2010, Rama Music LLC launches a digital distribution company Rama Distribution along with Tempo USA and Cool Tempo Publishing with his business partner Carlos Valderrama. On October 31, 2010, Rama Music LLC announces the acquisition of 51,000 song titles in digital circulation throughout the world territories making Rama Distribution an independent power house through digital media.

In mid-August 2010 Frankie Biggz & Darren Darby (brother of 90s R&B superstar Terence Trent D'Arby) decided to launch their online show, Music Business Secrets, an online Q&A that would expose and educate young upcoming producers, artists & publishers. The show also reviews musical work by different musical talent, that they can submit via MusicXray, where he was already doing private critique and consulting for artists and producers. The show can still be seen in the recorded format at Frankie Biggz’s blog or YouTube channel.

In late 2008, Frankie Biggz contacted EMI for a sample clearance of Jeff Lorber's "Rain Dance" (known for his use by Lil' Kim in her hit "Crush", featuring Lil Cesar & Notorious B.I.G.), that he had used for IreneB's song "I Wanna Fly" (included in "Metamorphosis"). Not long after, legendary jazz keyboard player Jeff Lorber reached out to IreneB & Frankie Biggz to congratulate them for their work. After several conversations between the three, Jeff Lorber and producer Bobby Colomby invited them to participate in his upcoming LP Now Is the Time. Frankie Biggz co-wrote with IreneB & Jeff Lorber four songs: "Rain Dance/Wanna Fly", "Sugar Free", "Water Sign" & "Curtains/Before We Go", that IreneB performed in the album. In June 1, 2010, "Now Is The Time" was released under Heads Up International record label. Produced by Bobby Colomby and Jeff Lorber and with guest appearances by Dave Weckl, Vinnie Colaiuta, Paul Jackson, Jr., Eric Marienthal & Jimmy Haslip. The album reached #8 on the Billboard Jazz Album charts. In December 1, 2010, "Now Is The Time" was nominated for a Grammy in the Best Contemporary Jazz Album category.

In September 30, 2010, Frankie Biggz was invited to be a keynote speaker, along with his partners Carlos Valderrama & IreneB, in the Future Music Forum conference, held in Barcelona, Spain. They talked about the music industry nowadays, specially dealing with digital distribution and other subjects from the artist, producer & label's point of view.

Frankie Biggz also produced IreneB's 2009 album Metamorphosis on his label, Rama Music. In December 2009, The Metamorphosis record would earn two 2009 Premios de la Musica Nominations and by 2010, IreneB's 3rd single "Dedicated" would reach number 1 on Spanish Radio (Conectate FM) in Spain and Colombia.

In the almost three years that Rama Music has been re-activated they have signed two artists, IreneB (that release her English debut album, "Metamorphosis", in 2009) & Latino rapper GuilloMan.

In the middle of 2007, at a BNW's concert, Frankie Biggz was pleasantly surprised to find there an old friend, Carlos Valderrama, owner of the prestigious house label Rama Music in the 90s (former label for several dance/house artists, such as Shawn Christopher, Ralphi Rosario, Matt Warren and Ridgeway, amongst others). The company had been in existence for over 10 years with distribution deals from Strictly Rhythm and Universal back in the late 1980s and early 1990s, with other partners such as Cesar Rollon Jr. (Imagen Consultants) & Marilyn Santiago (SBS/Sunshine Integrated Solutions).

By the end of 2007, Frankie moved to Orlando, FL. (where Carlos Valderrama was established) and became a full partner in the Rama Music record label, as well as opening a recording studio, Tempo Music Studios under the Tempo USA, LLC along with Carlos Valderrama and Spaniard R&B artist IreneB (Irene Bauza)

At the end of 2007, Frankie Biggz and his partner Carlos Valderrama, as well as artist IreneB, built their first recording studio, Tempo Recording Studios, in Deltona, FL, that Biggz & IreneB used to record half of IreneB's first English record,"Metamorphosis". In the middle of 2008 they moved to a bigger location in DeLand, FL, where the stayed for about a year and half. The studios were conceived and developed by Frankie Biggz & Carlos Valderrama and managed by Carlos Valderrama.

Biggz's BNW European tour was slated for November 2006, but the tour was delayed and eventually canceled along with the record deal after BNW front man Wahero suddenly quit the group in late 2007 for personal reasons unknown. It was a commercial & career disappointment. The loss of Wahero deeply affected Frankie Biggz. In a phone interview in late 2007 with 92.5 Kiss FM for a BNW interview, Frankie Biggz said:

Frankie Biggz has been married and divorced twice, he has one son from a previous relationship: Marcus "Romantic" Lucio (20). Frankie is engaged to Spaniard R&B artist IreneB, that he met in 2006. They reside between Orlando, FL. & Barcelona, Spain.

During his short stay in San Antonio Frankie Biggz began receiving recognition as a songwriter, musician, producer and drummer. He worked as a producer on a number of Tejano projects with Capital EMI & Sony Discos, and Stefani's Todo Mi Amor (Sony Music Distribution, 1995), both earning Gold and Platinum records.

Once Frankie had established his residence in San Antonio, him, Stephanie Lynn and her group High NRG joined forces to begin working on Stephanie's second EMI album release, Ojos Para Ti (1994).

Frankie Biggz's first credit production work was in 1990 on Miguel Tomas (Warner Bros., 1992) for his Latin-R&B singer and brother Miguel Tomas. After further productions and remixes on various 1990s R&B and Latino albums, Frankie Biggz became one of the most influential record producers for both Independent & Major artists.
