Frank Bell(IV)
- Composer
- Music Department
Originally a classically-trained cellist, Frank later expanded his
instrumental arsenal as a way to further express himself as an artist.
As an outlet, Frank began posting videos of his songs on YouTube, which
brought him international attention and 800,000 video views (in four
days) after being featured on their homepage. Shortly after, he flew to
Canada to record his debut EP 'On Passion and Reason', a folky,
neo-soul acoustic rock album which would later be released
independently worldwide with famed Producer Bill Bell (Tom Cochrane,
Jason Mraz, and more).
In 2010 Frank was named the HATCH Groundbreaking Musician (HATCHexperience.com), where he recorded a song with Matt Morris (Justin Timberlake, Kelly Clarkson, Christina Aguilera) on a original track aboard the John Lennon Tour Bus. Recent appearances on MTV, at the Sundance Film Festival, a Times Square NYE Concert, IdeaJam moderated by Ashton Kutcher, and Sold-out shows in Europe, continue to grow Frank's awareness and fan base.
Frank is also in tune with global needs. March of 2010, Frank could be seen on CNN, ABC World News with Dianne Sawyer, and other international news outlets, for a "We are the World" collaboration he participated in to aid Haiti relief efforts. In March of 2011 Frank led multiple ventures for Japan Tsunami Relief. He continues to work closely with non-profits and other charitable organizations as his career progresses, believing fully in social responsibilities and helping to raise awareness of what's going on in the world.
Since August of 2010, Frank found himself back and forth Bozeman, MT, where he teamed up with Producer, Deej Hofer to begin recording the highly anticipated full length LP "Everything Falls Into Place", which was released October 11, 2011.
In March of 2014, Frank was announced as the official Music Brand Ambassador for Skype which since has led to his participation on a panel at TED 2014 with fellow artist Amanda Palmer, and Imogen Heap.
