Frankie Negr�n is a singer of salsa music of Puerto Rican descent. He is among a group of notable young tropical singers and soneros who have woven a blend of pop, rock, gospel music, R&B, hip-hop, and reggaet�n elements into their salsa, a group that includes Huey Dunbar, Charlie Cruz, Kevin Ceballo, and Obie Berm�dez. Siblings include a younger sister, Jaqueline Negr�n, who is also a singer and dancer, and a brother, David Negr�n. Frankie attended Newark Arts High School in the early 90s gaining notoriety as part of an R&B singing group called Base Harmony. As part of Base Harmony, Frankie sang for audiences in the New Jersey Senate, Newark City Hall, The United in Group Harmony Association, and various clubs and venues around the tri-state area. It was during this period with Base Harmony that Frankie reinforced his already great vocal talents with an understanding of soul singing, complex group harmony, and stage performance that he'd draw from later in his musical career.
