Frank Dell was born in Hallsboro, North Carolina.  He completed high school in Chadbourn, North Carolina.  He graduated from Claflin College in Orangeburg, South Carolina with a B.A. degree in Social Studies with a minor in music.

While attending Claflin College, Frank joined the local band and performed in clubs throughout the South Carolina and Georgia areas.

During Frank's junior year in college he and his older brother, Warren, formed a singing group called "The Essence." The group performed at the Apollo Theater Amateur Show and won three consecutive weeks.  Frank had to return to college and was unable to complete the fourth and final week of the contest.

Over the years, Frank has performed with the Buddy Johnson Band, Syl Austin Trio, Aretha Franklin, Chuck Jackson and Tommy Hunt.

Frank has recorded for Mercury Records, Starflower Records, Valise Records and is presently with Gothel Records.

Frank's new album "Everything You Got" has a variety of styles of music.  However, Frank's deep resonant vocals are reminiscent of sounds from the heart of soul music.

Several New York columnist have written: "to hear Frank sing, one would think he was a combination of Barry White, Teddy Pendergrass, Isaac Hayes and Brook Benton.  He has a strong, crispy voice that reminds one, of the sound of bacon, cracklin in the frying pan."

Frank's varied style and repertoire sets him apart from most artists.  He has the uncanny ability to captivate his audience with his voice and physical stature.
