Frenchie Davis was born in Los Angeles, Calif. She began as a theatre student at  Howard University in Washington, D.C. While studying there, she got her first acting/singing job playing one of the street urchins in a production of Little Shop of Horrors with a small theatre company in Germany.

The same German company later rehired her for a production of Jesus Christ Superstar, the following year. After her return to the states, she auditioned for American Idol…and was flown to LA, made her mark on the show, and turned out to be a huge favorite with america to win the show.

Frenchie worked in 2003 as a “Grammy” correspondent for Entertainment Tonight and performed the song “And I Am Telling You” on the set of ET for the show as well.

She was then cast in the Broadway show RENT, from which she took a leave of absence to portray the role of “Effie White” in the West coast tour of the play DreamGirls.

Frenchie was originally signed to star in RENT for 6 months but it turned into nearly 4 years. Before she left the show in early April 07.

Rent, featuring book, music and lyrics by the late Jonathan Larson, has played almost 11 years at the Nederlander Theatre, where it opened on April 29th, 1996. A rock musical adaptation of Puccini’s La Boheme, the Tony Award- and Pulitzer Prize Award-winning musical.

Frenchie also starred as “Betty Currey” in the comedy satire about President Clinton, called “Monica” the musical. This was done for the New York musical theater festival.

In August, Frenchie stepped into the shoes of Jennifer Holliday and starred in a one women stage play (for Hartford, Conn. Stage) based on the legendary gospel great “Mahalia Jackson” This production was called “Sing, Mahalia, Sing’.

In November of 2008 Frenchie co-headlined in (with her American Idol friend Ruben Studdard) the 30th Ann. touring road show of the hit broadway play “Ain’t Misbehavin.” Naturally she will be playing the part that won Nell Carter a Tony Award….and got rave reviews for the role and received a Grammy nomination for the cast recording.

In July 2009 Frenchie released a dance cover of the Shannon classic “Give Me Tonight” which takes thishit song to a whole new place and for a whole new generation. The song got amazing reaction from the Billboard DJ’s and from Frenchie’s fans all over the world. his song went top 20 on the Billboard Dance Charts.

In the late summer of 2009 famed DJ/Remixer Tony Moran released Frenchie’s second dance single called “You Are” as a Cd single. The song turned out to be an amazing track from the legendary producer Tony Moran. This song went to #5 on the Billboard Dance Charts.

In November of 2010, Frenchie took on the starring role of the “Fairy God Mother” in the Berkeley Playhouse production of “Cinderella.”

Frenchie is also in the process of starting to record her “debut” CD, which will be a combination of the “classics,” “broadway” and a few new “original” songs.

Needless to say the sky is the limit for this amazingly talented lady with a “god given” voice from above…..
