At the tender age of 15, he embarked on a remarkable journey as a Freestyle artist, signing with the prestigious Ventura Records under the alias 'Frankie Boy'. During this period, he released a handful of songs, including the notable tracks "She's Leaving" and "My Precious Love", although he didn't quite achieve the level of success he had envisioned for his music career until much later.
It wasn't until he joined the renowned Latino group 'Los Kumbia Kings' that his music career truly began to take off. This talented ensemble combined the infectious rhythms of Cumbia with the catchiness of pop, the swagger of rap, and the soulfulness of R&B, creating a unique and captivating sound that resonated with audiences worldwide.
In the year 2000, the group made a bold move by crossing over to an English-language album, which yielded the chart-topping hit single "U Don't Love Me". During this time, he adopted the moniker 'Cisko', a name that would become synonymous with his artistic identity.
After years of honing his craft and perfecting his sound, Frankie J finally made his solo debut in 2003 with the breakout hit "Don't Wanna Try", a song that he credits as the catalyst for his entire career as 'Frankie J'.
