Frank Cheatham

Frank was born in Richmond Virginia. At age 3, he showed an interest in music so, his parents bought him a toy organ. Frank grew up listening to all styles of music and has a respect for all styles. He studied classical piano for 7 years, and played the Alto/Tenor Saxophones in the school band. At age 12, his parents bought him a bass guitar. He began jamming with songs over the radio and playing with the neighborhood band. Frank developed his Piano skills by playing in church. Frank put the bass down to concentrate on keyboards and then picked it up again, 7 years later. After hearing great bass players such as Marcus Miller, Jaco Pastorios, John Patitucci, and Victor Wooten, Frank was inspired to develop on the bass. Today, Frank has been writing, producing, and doing recording sessions as a bassist and/or keyboardist. Frank has a very busy schedule.
