Ken Franz

Wanting to focus on his songwriting, Ken moved from Milwaukee to Nashville and, there, honed his songwriting skills. He said, "Being around people that do it for a living, you can't help but absorb things. It's almost like learning through osmosis".

Ken moved from Nashville to the Dallas/Ft Worth area then back to Milwaukee. He spent the next several years doing solo shows at coffee houses, restaurants, and festivals. During that time he released 2 independent CD's. The second of which got extensive airplay overseas, and the title track "Take Me Back to Texas" was used by Fox Sports in a commercial by Fox Sports about NASCAR's return to Texas Motor Speedway.

Health issues forced Ken to take some time off, cancelling a tour of Belgium and the Netherlands, and eventually retire from performing.

in 2020 he felt pulled to start playing solo again, only to realize that he had lost his singing voice. Ken started praying and offered God a deal. If God would restore his singing voice, he'd write songs that glorified Him and people could use to worship Him. Two weeks later Ken's singing voice was restored. Over the next 10 days Ken wrote 6 Christian songs that had been churning inside of him. It was at the point his music ministry was born.

More often than not, Ken's songs are written from real life experiences and how God has helped him and continues to help him through them. He hopes his songs not only bless the listener but glorify God in the process.
