    Years of Experience: 25 Location Options: In Studio, In Home, In Webcam Genres: Rock, Blues, Jazz, Country, Acoustic, Christian Instruments Taught: Drum Lessons Overview: Royalprincewas born to drum. Born on April 13, 1978, his Grandmother named him Royalprince, anticipating an exciting and worldly future for her young Grandson. Raised on Chicago's West side, Franklin's family encouraged the development of his innate musical talents. As soon as Prince Franklin could crawl he was banging on pots and pans, and by age 5, he was seated on a Ludwig drum kit given to him by his Father and Grandfather. This began a childhood filled with music. In 1999, Franklin left Chicago behind for his first professional gig, as percussionist for the Las Vegas jazz pianist, Ghallib Ghalab. For the next several years he would play show acts, private events throughout Las Vegas, including a Worldwide tour with Grammy nominated jazz/urban dance music group, Liquid Soul.In 2002, when legendary rb/funk diva Chaka Khan came to Las Vegas to perform, she selected Franklin to hold the drum seat with her and her band for the next 2 1/2 years. When he was not working with Chaka he toured with fusion jazz pioneer, Stanley Clarke, rock guitarist Richie Kotzen and Billy Sheehan. In 2007, Franklin had the honor of working with 22 time Grammy winner Stevie Wonder. In 2007, Royalprince Franklin firmly made a name for himself when he received a call from 4 time Grammy winner Lenny Kravitz to become a member of his band. Franklin has toured worldwide and made TV appearances with Lenny Kravitz for the past seven years. (March 2007- July 2014) A young and seasoned musician, Franklin continues to focus on his music through songwriting, singing and composition of original music. Franklin embraces the same passion he brings to the stage in his daily celebration of life.
