Bio: 

New York Times proclaims Frankie A. Soto is a “FORCE”. “Unquestionably one of the best touring gigs going right now in the business” raves Zachary Kluckman, THE PEDESTAL MAGAZINE. Revealing all from language difficulties as a Spanglish speaking kid in a Puerto Rican home to the imagery and chaos of a school shooting, weight insecurities, and the path to self love, this Artist brings a comical undertone among the intensity of HIV, Cultural, Racial and Political & Social issues.

He's performed to standing ovations at over 100 colleges/universities across the country. Winner of the 2016 Multicultural Poet of the Year at the National Poetry Awards in Chicago. His HIV video "Guessing Game" was nominated and selected for the A3C Film Festival in Atlanta. He's been published in numerous magazines and publications
