Cancion Franklin is a musician/songwriter who lives and preforms in New York City and Arizona.  Originally from Tucson, Arizona, his musical life began when he first heard the blues as a child.  "I heard Howlin' Wolf as a kid and it blew my small mind wide open. I tried to emulate him along with my other heroes throughout the years, which helped me to create my own unique style and sound.  What has developed out of this is something that lives between blues, rock and classic country." 

Cancion moved to New Jersey back in 2010 at the age of 18 to attend college and be close to the musical epicenter that is New York City.  Soon after arriving, he began to pursue his musical dreams and learn the realities of being a working musician. "I took the NJ transit to play dives in North Jersey that aren't there anymore, to whichever drunks happened to be there.  Thats how I got my start.  I played in bathrooms, train stations, houses, dive bars and barns.  Each show became a push towards a higher level of expression."

“I find myself caught between two worlds, the insane fast pace of New York and the slow, gentle stride of Arizona. I think I have a good standpoint to write about all aspects of American life.”

Cancion was signed to two record labels in 2021, Animal Farm Music in London, Uk, and Heartsville Music Group international.

Cancion has a monthly gig at Patagonia Lumber co in Arizona, and a standing show at Juke Bar in Manhattan’s east village.
