Working as a solo artist who preforms/creates/writes his own music has been a blessing for him, Palangi said, due to some of his past medical issues.

Headed into the studio June/Aug. 2010 with record producer Rogers Masson. Sessions were held in Nashville, Tennessee. He has secured the Grammy nominated rock band Day Of Fire to back me up in the studio. He says, "This is the baddest rhythm section in the land, and along with the vocal guidance of singer Josh Brown, Frank's songs are going to turn out amazing."

As a writer, he says he focuses on creating songs people will want to be mainstream and modern. Nostalgia, he believes, is also an important facet of songwriting. "Music should be entertainment. The more you listen, the more you want," Palangi said. "It's all about revisiting songs and remembering when you heard them in a certain time of your life – almost like a photo album."

Palangi likes to perform as frequently as possible. He plays heavily in the area around Upstate, NY, the city he calls home. "I like to play at the local coffee houses, restaurants, and bigger venues. I like to play acoustic music out and do a little hard rock on the side live." he says, noting that he prefers to avoid bars where people are often too drunk to really appreciate the music they're hearing. I like to promote a clean image.

His constant playing (and constant writing and recording, too) are signs of his passion for music – something he believes is required for someone to be truly accomplished as a musical artist. "If you want to play music, it must be a passion and a drive. Practice is the key to getting better."
