HHP228 Frank Are [Open Format / NYC]
Up next, we’re welcoming Queens & Westchester, New York’s own Frank Are.
Shaped by his Italian and Puerto Rican roots, Frank’s passion for music, and inspired by radio heavyweights Clinton Sparks, Mister Cee, and Prostyle, he got his breakthrough opening for Connecticut mixtape legend Big Mike. Since then, he’s shared the stage with T.I., The Diplomats, and The LOX, earning co-signs from Jim Jones, French Montana, Lola Brooke, Davido, Manuel Turizo, and Bay Swag.
A member of Da Union DJs since 2022, Frank is featured on SiriusXM’s FLY and Shade 45 and holds residencies at NYC nightlife destinations Tao Downtown, Nebula, Barcode, and The Fleur Room. His résumé also includes sets at Sony Hall, Lavo, SLS South Beach, and Playhouse in Los Angeles.
With his sights set on touring worldwide, Frank lives by one belief: “If you can play in NYC, you can play anywhere in the world.”
