We had the good fortune of connecting with Rhea Francani and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Rhea, what is the most important factor behind your success?
What is the most important factor behind the success of your brand? Although I grew up in Buffalo, I’m drawn to the southern charm of country music’s heartfelt lyrics – songs about love, life and good times. My sound blends country, pop and rock sounds to create a distinctive country brand of music, style and fun. I bring a bit of the city to the country! I think it is important to stay true to myself and true to the music that I write.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Currently a Performing Arts Teacher at the renowned Florida Atlantic University in South Florida, I earned my Master’s Degree in Music & Music Education from Columbia University in New York City. I moved to the country music capital of Nashville to co-produce my self-penned 12-track debut album “Now or Never.”

The album features singles “Is This Love,” “Shotgun Baby” and my break-out single “Dizzy,” which reached #11 on the global HotDisc chart and was included on All Access Nashville radio services in 2015. The pop country single achieved international attention for its fresh, jubilant sound and All-American energy.

While I continued to write and perform, I also developed a performing arts program for middle school students. I love to mentor students while also crafting my own music. My new single will be released early next year. It will feature some of Nashville’s top recording musicians.

I am proud and grateful to be able to continue this journey of creating, recording, and performing music from the heart.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
One of my favorite places to go is the pool or beach! Being from Buffalo, NY I really appreciate the warmer weather here and being able to see beautiful sunrises/sunsets, ocean water, or a pool. Another spot I love to go is Mizner or other plazas or parks that have great food, entertainment and shopping 🙂 South Florida offers an endless array of exciting ventures!

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
My earliest music lessons began around the piano with my two sisters and my parents. The living room floor was our stage!

Performing has always been an important part of our family time together.

I’m so grateful for those foundational experiences that provided a supportive space for me to experiment, learn and grow.
