Kirk Dwayne Franklin was born January 26, 1970 in Fort Worth Texas. Abandoned by his mother and never knowing his father, Franklin was raised by his Aunt Gertrude who was a very religious woman. She maintained a strict Baptist household which framed his personality and lifestyle. When he was four years old, his aunt found a way to pay for his piano lessons which was by collecting aluminum cans. He was a natural-born musician who could sight-read and play music easily. At the age of seven, he received his first contract offer in which his aunt immediately shut down. By 11, he lead the Mt. Rose Baptist Church adult choir located near Dallas. Following a period of teenage rebellion, Franklin returned to the church and began to study music with Jewell Kelly & the Singing Chaparrals at Oscar Dean Wyatt High School. In 1992, Franklin formed the Family, which was a choir composed of 17 members(friends and associates). The group debuted with the 1993 Kirk Franklin & the Family album, after signing with GospoCentric label. In 1995, Kirk Franklin & the Family Christmas appeared yet it was his 1996 release, Whatcha Lookin’ 4.

Kirk Franklin is regarded as one of the most influential artists in the world of Gospel. He brought light to many talented artists by displaying their gifts for the benefit of themselves. A lot of the pieces written by Franklin aren’t sung by him as he leaves that to some of the best gospel singers in the game. Doing so is an honor for him which is part of the reason why he has gained such a positive narrative over the years. He is appreciated for the many contributions that he’s made to not only gospel music but also the lives of its listeners.
