San Franklin
Grisanthia Franklin, “San” as she is affectionately called, hails from the
Oakland-San Francisco Bay Area by way of Chicago, Illinois. Now making
Nashville her home, San Franklin is in a focused season in her life, poised for
greater works with incredible outcomes. Being noted as one of Gospel and
Christian music's most commanding vocalists and professional session singers,
San Franklin is strategically stretching her artistry and ministry beyond any
boarders that man can establish.
Her brilliant background vocal arrangements and production, and solo vocals
are heard on several Grammy®, Stellar and Dove award-winning recordings.
She has worked with and traveled nationally and internationally with some of
the biggest names in music including Heather Headley, Bishop Paul Morton,
Martina McBride, Beverly Crawford, The Newsboys, Yolanda Adams, The
Clark Sisters, Aretha Franklin, Alvin Slaughter, Donnie McClurkin, Casting
Crowns, Lisa Knowles-Smith, Jill Scott, CeCe Winans, Raphael Saadiq, Indian
mega-producer Pritam, Christina Aguilera and many more. San positions
herself with her own music now for eager fans and for a world that will
gravitate to her voice and be changed by the God in her.
Earlier this year, San hosted her first live recording in Nashville, TN. The
outcome of a dynamic, worshipful night has yielded her new single "Blessing
Me". With guest vocalist Chrystal Rucker, San dishes out a churchy, robust
song, capturing the essence of her talent and depth of her anointing.
The EP/Single is an eleven-minute live musical experience that only San can
deliver dynamically while keeping listeners engaged in praise! "Blessing Me" is
the first single from her forthcoming album THE FREE PROJECT.
In addition to her thriving music career, San founded
and pastors Kingdom Love Worship Center (KLWC)
in Nashville. From its inception in 2014, the vision of
KLWC has been made manifest in the lives of God’s
people as the place where God’s LOVE builds, covers
and restores those that have been deemed unlovable.
Her focus is on the ministry of saving souls and
healing the hurts of believers who have been
oppressed and bound by enemy tactics, making it
hard for them to live a victorious life in Jesus Christ.
“I will keep ministering to God’s people in the way
He leads me to go, whether it be conventional or
non-conventional until a difference is made in the
lives of all God’s people," says San. "People have to
know that regardless of where they have come from
or what they have been into, God can change their
life around and make it VICTORIOUS.”
