Bio
Franc Grams’ entire life has been defined by overcoming hardships and tough times,
growing up in the poverty stricken Boulder Drive housing projects of New London, CT.
Wise beyond his years, family, friends, and peers often look to the twenty-three year old
for guidance which can be a gift and a curse at the same time. In a city that has been marked
by tragedy and hardships all on its own, Franc quickly finds himself in a position of leadership,
where people are looking to him for all the answers.
Most would fold under this type of pressure but for Franc Grams , it is all in a days work.
He is no stranger to any of it, he oozes confidence and appears to be more comfortable
in front of the flashing lights than most people are in their own homes. It is his work ethic
and charisma, that sets Grams apart and above from most of the newer artists in the industry
today. “Hard work is like a second language to me,” he says when asked how he has built a
diverse catalogue that boasts close to 300 recordings. “I grind,” He states enthusiastically,
“You don’t grind, you don’t shine”.
“Grams wasn't a word I stumbled across while in search
of a stage name,” states Mr. Colmenares. There is a lot of meaning behind his moniker.
The word “grams” is symbolic of the hustle; it just happens his hustle isn’t just a street corner, its music as well. “I’m still selling Grams, he states.” With a fully loaded arsenal consisting of his lyrical ability, strong cadence and delivery there is no doubt the world shall soon recognize the slick spitting rhymesmith as one of the greats.
