Tijuana-born and San Diego-raised, the contemporary R&B artist Frankie J. was raised on a steady diet of Latin music and American artists like Michael Jackson and Run-D.M.C. On The One , J´s Latin roots are never far away, as he croons Spanish couplets amid the snappy beats of the R&B-flavored like: "Obsession (No Es Amor)", "How To Deal" and "Story Of My Life". Remarkable!
