Frenna

Singer, rapper, event organizer, and label owner Frenna belongs to the top of the Dutch scene and has already touched many milestones in his relatively short musical career. The Hague rapper Frenna made his breakthrough as part of the rap formation SFB (Strictly Family Business) in 2014. Nowadays Frenna, whose real name is Francis Junior Edusei, is making quite an impact as a solo artist with more than 2 million Spotify listeners per month.

Frenna has scored several number one hits and has managed to achieve platinum status with both his third album 'Francis' and fourth solo album ''t Album Onderweg Naar 'Het Album'' in a short amount of time.

In 2018 Frenna also broke the until then established Spotify record for most streams in twenty-four hours with the single 'Verleden Tijd', together with fellow artist Lil' Kleine. The song uninterruptedly ranked number one in the Dutch charts for six weeks. At the end of 2019, he set a new record: at that point, his music had already been streamed more than 325 million times, and this milestone earned him the title of the most streamed Dutch Spotify artist. Then, in July of 2020, Frenna received a unique award recognizing 1 billion streams across all streaming platforms received on his music and project he was featured on.

Besides breaking records, Frenna also managed to win several awards. In February 2019 he received his first Edison Pop Award for his album 'Francis'. A few months later, Frenna was the big winner at the FunX Music Awards where the singer and rapper collected three of his eight nominations winning in categories Best Singer, Best Album ('Francis') and Best Collaboration ('Viraal', with Mula B).

As an event organizer, Frenna is also the brain behind several successful events. In the summer of 2019 he organized the sold out 777 Fest in Eindhoven, which attracted a total of 7000 visitors. He was also the first artist to sell out the AFAS Live venue during ADE (Amsterdam Dance Event) 2019 with his own urban concept 'Meisjes Blijven Meisjes'. As label owner of his own record label 777 – a joint-venture with Top Notch – he was to host the second, and even bigger, edition of 'Meisjes Blijven Meisjes' in 2020, but this was postponed to 2021 due to the corona measures.

Following his success in the Netherlands, Frenna is broadening his horizon and striving for an international career. His fifth solo album 'Highest' is the first step into this direction. This bilingual album boasts his first entirely English solo track called 'Come Thru' and contains both Dutch tracks and international features with none other than the Nigerian superstar Yemi Alade, the British rapper Young Adz from the collective D-Block Europe, and King Promise.

To celebrate the release of his latest album in style, Frenna organized an exclusive listening
session with some his closest friends, like Défano Holwijn, Rotjoch, and Hef, in a 777- private jet to literally take it to the next level and be the 'Highest'. This session eventually also turned out to be the music video clip of the song 'See Me Ball'.

In the second half of 2021, Frenna and Jonna Fraser joined forces and released a long- awaited album together called 'Championships'. In recent years, the two have been working together regularly, resulting in huge hits like 'My Love', 'Ik Kom Bij Je' and 'Louboutin'. The fourteen tracks on 'Championships' confirm the unprecedented chemistry between the two artists.
