Hi there, my name is Ricky Francese. I am from Franklin, New Jersey, where I started Theater when I was 6. Since then I have done theater all over New Jersey and even worked as a Music Director for the same Theater that I grew up at. I grew up in a music filled house listening to Bon Jovi, Journey, and Styx, but It wasn’t until I got older that I really started to grow into myself as a musician, learning some of the piano classics by Elton John, Stevie Wonder and Billy Joel (my personal favorite). While also teaching myself more and more on guitar, listening and learning the styles of Jimi Hendrix and John Mayer.

After years of performing in New Jersey, I decided to further my education and moved to NYC to pursue a BFA in Musical Theater Performance at Pace University.
In my free time, I am most likely talking with family, playing with my dogs, golfing, learning new music, or getting back to my roots by eating good Italian food.
