The Act Francis Releases New Single, 'In From The Cradle/Day Long Moon,' On GIG HOUSE RECORDS

NEW YORK, April 21 /PRNewswire/ -- The Act Francis (TAF) fuses the futuristic sounds of technology with traditional song writing to create this catchy electronic track that he describes as "World Pop." Mixed by Dae Bennett, son of the legendary Tony Bennett, "In From The Cradle" will be released to over 2,400 digital retailers worldwide.

TAF's songwriting is influenced by his worldwide travels. He has seen more of the world than most people dream of. "As an artist, one cannot boat to Moorea Island in Tahiti or climb to the top of extinct volcano Seongsan Ilchulbong at the extreme eastern tip of Jejudo, South Korea and not be inspired. The world breathes me magic." That magic is found in his music as it draws from many of the world's cultures.

His music takes you on an emotional ride that allows you to escape reality. "The Act Francis' music is always a journey," states Steve Addabbo, famed producer of Suzanne Vega.

TAF was raised on the music of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Elvis. He cites the Eddie Van Halen solo "Eruption" as his inspiration to learn guitar. "I wasn't a teddy bear kid; instead, I had a toy guitar I carried around everywhere."

Not long after, he discovered his own creative nature. "Whenever I started to learn a song by someone else I ended up writing my own so I started to concentrate on that creativity."

While TAF is a composer first and foremost, he is an artist in several other forms. TAF acted in a few major films, namely "American Gangster," "Carlito's Way: Rise to Power," and "Find Me Guilty," where director Sidney Lumet handpicked him to perform opposite Vin Diesel.

TAF is also an avid photographer, graphic designer, budding filmmaker and chef. He designed the packaging and artwork for the advance copy of "In From The Cradle," and even filmed its video. To view his photographic and designing prowess, and more of his music, visit www.theactfrancis.com and www.myspace.com/theactfrancis.

Just as he refuses to limit himself to one art form, TAF explores several different musical genres. Look for his debut album out this summer, tastefully blending worldly flavors that create an ear altering listening experience.
