Franca Morgano biography

Franca was born on 4th of January in Frankfurt am Main (Germany). Her family came 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 Magic Affair's female vocalist.

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). She won the Echo Award for the Best Dance Act Of The Year in München in 1994 and 1995 and was nominated for the MTV-Award in Berlin in 1995.

In interviews, Franca says she likes shopping and Indian cooking. Her favourite artist is Jack Nicholson. She likes dressing in white and in beige.

In 1994 too, Franca gave her voice to the project The Musketeers for the single All For Love. She also did vocals on Trance-Mission Save Me and on LIO You Drive Me Crazy. When one listen to Tuttifrutti's single Firewalker, one could wonder if Franca is not the vocalist...

She was fired from Magic Affair in February 1995 after the first album. Then Franca and her former partner AK Swift did a cover of the Chic song Good Times under the name of Blaxone. After that Franca Morgana went solo under the name of Voice. She released 3 singles, Dance With Me (a very cool eurodance song), I Can Reach Nobody, and a cover of the Queen hit Scandal. She was also featured by the techno project Lust for a single : Planet Paradise'96 , by Tory Kay for the track I Wanna Fly (of which she wrote the lyrics), by Gate for the single Interlace. She has released 2 singles under her name : One Way Street and Here I Am.

Then she started collaborating with Ryan Paris. Her voice appeared on the songs It's My Life (in 1998), Babe, I Wanna Love You Once Again (in 2000)...

Franca is not only a singer, but also a composer and a producer. She presented some TV-broadcasts. She did some TV-commercials (for the Shamtu Shampoo, the Cafe Lorenzo, CenterPark, Maggi, VDEW Sarah Lee and Lufthansa). Recently she created the project Franca and the Funky Grooves, together with the singer Ilka and the guitarist Bobby Stöcker. She took part to groups such as Spirit Of Soul and Sexy Motha Funky. She collaborated with Ralf Olbrich, Bobby, Giorgio Rozario and Mini, der Teufelsgeiger. She also started her own company MM Entertainment, specialized into radio jingles creation. She is also a song teacher.

2003 : Franca joined Magic Affair again for the single Fly Away (La Serinissima). She also contributed to Hypertraxx single Promiseland (a trance track in a style reminding Brooklyn Bounce and Benassi), appearing in the video and on stage.

She also did some tours, alone or with her band, singing covers and original soul and pop American and Italian songs such as Quando, Volare, No No No, O Sole Mio, Azzurro, Viva La Mamma, A far L'Amore, E Cosi, Nell'Aria, Somebody Else's Guy...

2008 : a new dance project called Phen-O-MENia used Franca's vocals on a song called Phenomenon, but the whole affair was a swindle out of her, and the single was forbidden to be released. Franca recorded a cover of 2 Unlimited's hit No Limit for compilation 90's Club Hits Reloaded Vol.2.
