Franca Morgano biographyFranca was born on 4th of January in Frankfurt am Main (Germany). Her family come from the South of Italy and her education was very strict. She has one sister and one brother. She learned to play the guitar by herself, at the age of 11. When she was only 13 she started writing her first songs. She won many 1st and 2nd places in various musical competitions (Rudi Carrell Show in 1991, Berliner Funkausstellung in 1991...). She did background vocals for Mariah Carey, did a tour with the Frankfurter Symphonie-Orchester and took part to many musical groups before being noticed by Mike Staab. This is how she became female vocalist of Magic Affair. Her voice was recorded separately from AK's voice. She only met her future partner when the first video was shot. She found out he was very handsome... But afterwards she admitted she could hardly bear his macho temper. She gave her voice to Magic Affair's first (and most succesful album).
