FOUNDER
"We don't have fans, we have friends. And when you look at them as friends, everybody is coming together for the same purpose, just getting excited about our faith."
KIRK FRANKLIN
For two decades, Kirk Franklin has been a multi-platinum-selling purveyor of majestic fusions of gospel and contemporary music, and a mirror of Christian humanity boldly reflecting what one faith-walking man can accomplish when he focuses on God and utilizes the gifts He's given him. Franklin is a pioneer in gap-bridging musicianship, uniting audiences across gospel, hip hop, pop and R&B. His irresistible rhythms and rhapsodies have resulted in albums that consistently top both Billboard’s Gospel and Christian charts, as well as ascend into the Top 10 of the R&B/Hip Hop chart. His unprecedented penetration into mainstream music has fortified him to also become a New York Times bestseller author for The Blueprint: A Plan for Living Above Life’s Storms (Gotham/Penguin). For 8 seasons, Franklin was the host and executive producer of the gospel talent show “Sunday Best,” the highest-rated gospel program in BET network history. To date, the musical trendsetter has garnered 14 GRAMMY® Awards; an American Music Award; 39 Stellar Awards (gospel); 16 Dove Awards (CCM); 8 NAACP Image Awards; 3 BET Music Awards, a Soul Train Award and numerous others.
In light of his success in the music industry, Franklin still acknowledges his humble beginnings. He is never far from that frightened and forlorn young man who didn’t always know which way to turn, which is what makes Franklin one of the most relatable and respected messengers in his field. Kirk is passionate about helping young people realize their potential in music, and how in the process, it can help change their lives.
