Biography

F.J.Nascimento’s powerful voice met public ears the first time when he was eleven years old, solo-singing in a big church (without microphone).

The same year he started playing the guitar and composing his own songs.
About three years later he was asked to do the support-act of a known artist (the school had organized the concert).

He stood there alone on a huge stage with just his guitar, an amp and a microphone. Hundreds of pupils and teachers were listening to him singing Beatles-songs and some of his own compositions. Later he founded his first band together with his cousin. They were covering popular songs only.

Then Frank was looking for more challenge and became a member of a Progressive Rock group. They only played their own compositions and he wrote the singing part and was the front man. With this group he won the second place in a Rock Contest. After going to a recording studio, FJ got offered to do some additional studio work apart from the band. It didn’t pay much but it added to his experience and it was fun too.
To finance his musical gear he went back to covering songs in commercial bands (so-called "Party-bands",  as lead- and backing singer / guitarist / bassist) with more gigs and more pay. After some years he was contacted by a band that was covering Toto-songs (only). They needed a lead singer. He agreed – and thus played in two bands. When their bass player dropped out, he took over.

…but all the time he kept writing his own songs and taking part in competitions and sending (some pretty bad) recordings to record labels…

Today F.J.Nascimento is the bass player  in a Classic Rock Cover Band and is writing new songs and re-recording some of his old ones…
