I was born in Oakland, California and grew up in Davis, CA. After high school I moved to San Francisco to play basketball at the University of San Francisco. While attending school there I lived above the college radio station and fell in love with the magic of music. In 1986 I started the afro-industrial band The Beatnigs and we put out one album on The Dead Kennedy’s label Alternative Tentacles. In 1991 I formed The Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy, with dancer percussionist Rono Tse and now legendary jazz guitarist Charlie Hunter. We put out one album Hypocrisy is the Greatest luxury on Island records.
In 1994 I started Spearhead with a few studio musicians that I was working with while recording an album in Philadelphia. The initial intention was to just put a few people together to tour with when the album came out. Since that time we have gone through many line up changes to arrive at the core group of musicians who now make up Spearhead. Throughout my career I have always viewed music as a way to stir the soul and a vehicle for social change. I love the craft of songwriting as much as I love recording and performing. Every day of my life is rich with music. when I am not listening to it, I am practicing it and when I am not practicing, I am often writing songs in my head. Filmmaking and photography have also become great passions of mine. I still live in San Francisco (when I am not on the road) and in case you were wondering I was born on the 21st of April.

I have always been a fan of Franti! I just saw him at the Wiltern in LA ! So amazing! He played with a band called Rey Fresco. They reallllly knew how to rock the crowd. I was definitely diggin' them! I loved the harpist and I loved how the bassist was rocking out the whole time haha. I tihnk my favorite part of their performance was when they did their rendition of Buena Vista Social Club's classic song "Chan Chan". So good! If you havennt heard this band then you should for sure check them out on their website www.reyfresco.com They have a new album coming out soon and I am counting down the days!!! Franti+Rey Fresco= Best Concert in Life

there's nothing wrong about them getting airplay and become more "popular" in the mainstream, as long as their music doesnt change

How come All Rebel Rockers isn't on the album list?? Who else agrees that All Rebel Rockers is their best album? silence-killer you have a good point. Last.fm staff fix this!

What's wrong with the play counter? Michael Franti & Spearhead play the same venues as, co-headline festivals with, and draw similar sized crowds as the likes of Iron & Wine, Keane and Decemberists, who each have 30 million plays.
