Frank
had a burning desire to sing and perform.
Not
knowing any musicians, he simply walked into a hotel across
from Disneyland and approached the Manager. He asked if he
could sing a couple of songs with the band.
When
he was finished, the Manager walked up to him and said, "When
can you start?
Before
you started singing, four ladies who had been seated for awhile
were walking out to leave.
As
soon as you started, they turned around and walked back in.
That's all I wanted to see. Your hired!" Frank had one
huge problem. He had no band.
He
immediately searched for the musicians and that was the start
of his full-time career in music.
Frank's
popularity grew rapidly and soon he was booked years in advance.
Requests continued to come in from buyers but he could not
accept them all.
As
a result of the overwhelming number of requests to perform,
he started referring other singers he respected.
In
addition, Frank wanted to raise the bar. He has never been satisfied
with anything less. His Father would always say. "100% is
not good enough. If you want to succeed give a 110%.
Frank
not only provided top quality performers for clients, he would
also insure that the total event was a positive experience
for everyone involved. As a result, "Frank Ricci Presents"
was born.
From
there he went into performing, producing and directing events
of all types and sizes worldwide from private functions to 50,000
seat stadiums.
Frank
has co-starred with and/or produced concerts for countless stars
like B.B. King and the late great Tammy Wynette. Negotiating the
procurement of international stars like Whitney Houston, Michael
Jackson and Jennifer Lopez with an event budget exceeding two-million
dollars ($2,000,000).
Frank
has always looked at performing, not only as entertainment but
as a way for people to escape life's pressures.
He
has always been curious about the psychological dynamics that
take place between an audience and performer and utilizes psychology
and technology to excite all of the audiences five senses.
This
mating of psychology and science proved how effective it was
when Frank averaged two to three standing ovations per show.
Since
its inception "Frank Ricci Presents" has performed,
produced, and directed over 10,000 events in the United States
and abroad.
