Michael Franti is a globally recognized musician, humanitarian, activist and award-winning filmmaker revered for his high-energy live shows, inspiring music, devotion to health and wellness, worldwide philanthropic efforts and the power of optimism.
Throughout his multidecade career, Franti has earned three Billboard No. 1’s with triumphantly hopeful hits “Sound of Sunshine,” “Say Hey (I Love You)” and “I Got You,” as well as six Top 30 Hot AC singles, 10 Top 25 AAA Singles and three Billboard Top 5 Rock Albums. “I Got You,” lead single from Work Hard And Be Nice, marked Franti’s first No. 1 in nearly 10 years and landed on NPR’s “Most Popular Songs of 2020,” while the music video boasts over 1 million views since its release.
Franti & Spearhead’s 12th studio album Follow Your Heart is available everywhere now via Thirty Tigers, which debuted at No. 2 on the iTunes Pop Chart behind Harry Styles and features current Top 20 single “Brighter Day,” and lead single “Good Day For A Good Day,” which marked the band’s 10th Top 25 AAA hit.
“One thing I learned these last couple of years is that people need people,” shares Franti. “I wrote many songs about connection, resilience and finding the light, even in the midst of all the crazy. Somewhere in there we find resilience, and I hope Follow Your Heart gives fans the courage to continue looking for and holding onto that perseverance.”
Deemed a “groundbreaking musician” by Entrepreneur, Franti & Spearhead kicked off the Follow You Heart World Tour earlier this spring, announcing over 60 shows and performing to sold-out venues across North America through the summer, including a sold-out date at the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colo. along with a slew of festival dates, before heading to Europe in early 2023.
