Franki Moscato is an American singer/songwriter, actress, and national speaker.
Moscato is a devoted Christian artist whose greatest joy comes from singing for the Lord. As a cantor at Mass, she feels truly fulfilled offering her voice as a tool to honor God and draw others closer to Him. Franki believes her music is a form of ministry, and her passion for praising the Lord through her voice has shaped her entire career.
At 22 years old, she performs solo concerts with only her mic and keyboard and leaves her audiences thunderstruck. Known for her warmth, kindness, and professional poise, she leaves a lasting impression on everyone she meets, and her performances are a reflection of her deep faith. Whether she’s performing on stage for audiences of thousands or in the quiet of a hospital room for those in need of comfort, Franki’s voice carries a message of hope.
Moscato’s career dates back to grade school when she first polished her artistry and shook her school district with heartrending pieces that honored war veterans and their families. Her musical journey has since taken her to incredible heights, performing alongside artists like Riley Green, CAIN, Charlie Berens, Danny Gokey, and more. Moscato went on to perform the National Anthem twice for the White House, five times for the Green Bay Packers, six times for the Milwaukee Bucks, and twice for the Miss Wisconsin Pageant. In 2019, she won American Idol’s coveted “Gold Ticket” and went on to compete in Hollywood before their celebrity judges. Moscato stars in three music videos that have all earned awards, including “Best Music Video” in the London and Hollywood Independent Film Awards and a “Silver Remi” in the Steven Spielberg Film Awards.
A passionate advocate for those struggling with mental health, Moscato has used her platform to raise awareness for adolescent suicide prevention. Since the age of eleven, she has dedicated herself to advocating for young people in need of hope, and at 19, she founded the Franki Moscato Foundation to support Wisconsin youth battling mental health challenges. Moscato demonstrated her love for children by volunteering as a pediatric musical therapist at two area hospitals. She also performed at bedsides at the Sunrise Children’s Hospital in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Franki Moscato Foundation headquarters is in a commercial space in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, where her signature “BE KIND” message, that can be seen everywhere, is on merchandise, in schools, and at youth organizations—and it serves to spread the word, raise awareness of this decaying etiquette, and earn proceeds to help strapped families, schools, and state-wide youth organizations fight teen suicide.
Through it all, her faith remains at the center of her work, and she continually uses her voice to bring healing to others. You can find Franki regularly performing and speaking across our state and our great Nation.
