Fra's Official Biography - Francesco Menghetti
Early Beginnings
Fra, stage name of Francesco Menghetti, is an Italian dance and electronic music artist who has transformed his passion for music into a personal mission of expression and emotional connection. His artistic journey begins at the age of 12, when the first piano notes ignite a creative spark that will never fade. After becoming familiar with chords and melodies, he composes his first song, an intimate work never released to the public but fundamental in his artistic growth as a music producer.
Musical Influences and Formation
Raised listening to the pioneers of the Italian dance music scene of the 2000s – Danijay, Gigi D'Agostino, Roby Rossini, Giorgio Prezioso, Marvin – Fra develops a deep passion for Italodance, a genre that characterizes his early works of electronic music. These tracks, initially shared only on YouTube, represent the embryo of his sound: energetic melodies, driving rhythms and a constant search for authentic emotions in dance music.
Digital Debut and Growth (2024-2025)
The real turning point for artist Fra comes on March 22, 2024 with "Fratello contro Fratello" (Brother Against Brother), his first single published on Spotify, Apple Music and all digital platforms. The piece, in a rap style, marks a first stylistic evolution and demonstrates his ability to span genres while always maintaining a recognizable identity as a DJ and producer.
From that moment, Francesco Menghetti begins to systematically release his Italian dance music on all major streaming platforms. In just 19 months, the Italian artist has published an impressive catalog of 48 tracks, demonstrating surprising prolificacy without ever sacrificing quality. From his 2024 debut to "Rise Above" (October 2025), each single is a piece of a larger mosaic that tells universal stories through the lens of modern dance and electronic music.
Style and Themes
Fra's music style merges elements of classic dance with contemporary electronic productions, creating atmospheres that oscillate between pure energy and moments of melodic introspection. His dance tracks are characterized by powerful drops, emotional vocal lines and carefully crafted arrangements that capture attention from the first listen, typical of the best Italian dance music.
His song lyrics address deep and current themes: self-determination ("Rise Above"), emotional resilience ("Never Again"), celebration of life ("We're Alive Tonight"), love and relationships ("Fading Echoes"), existential reflection ("Tempo"), personal freedom ("Vola Con Me"). Each track is a motivational anthem that invites the listener to never give up, to shine despite difficulties, to transform pain into strength.
Social Commitment and Messages
Fra is not just a producer, but a storyteller who uses music as a universal language. His lyrics, often bilingual (Italian/English), courageously address themes such as bullying, personal identity, the fight against prejudice and the celebration of diversity. "Rise Above", for example, has become a true manifesto for anyone who has suffered discrimination, transforming emotional scars into symbols of strength and survival.

With an established presence on Instagram (@fra_officialzz) and TikTok, artist Fra has built a community of fans and listeners who recognize themselves in his messages. His dance music is not just entertainment, but a tool for empowerment and emotional connection that crosses geographical and generational boundaries. His music videos and social content reach thousands of views.
