Michael Franti

Michael Franti
I feel alive when I feel ease of heart.
Michael Franti
I drive a hybrid. It's a Ford Escape. That's my only car.

The music industry has been hijacked by corporate interests, but the way music affects people and resonates with them hasn't changed.
Michael Franti
Music has the power to bring people together like no other art form.
Michael Franti
