SXSW 2026: Frank Mastra

Luck Reunion artist.  There isn't much online written about him. I found an article from a college website with this:

Just three months into his senior year, SUNY Oneonta Music Industry major Franklin Mastrangelo has signed a multi-album record deal with Mercury Records.

Mastrangelo, of Orient, NY, shared with his hometown newspaper, The Suffolk Times, that he will release music under the name Frank Mastra and plans to relocate to Nashville to pursue his music career full time.

That article was in January (last month) so he probably hasn't even started recording yet.

I found the article from his hometown paper they reference. It said:  

In his first interview since landing the deal, the Greenport High School graduate — who will be releasing music under the name Frank Mastra — said Tuesday, Jan. 6, that he signed with the label on Nov. 15, 2025, just three days before his 21st birthday.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Universal Music Group, the parent company of Mercury Records, did not respond to a request for comment.

A multi-album major label deal and now he's playing Luck Reunion. I assume they're expecting big things. 

I see lots of TikTok clips but no original videos. He doesn't even have Spotify or Youtube pages yet.

Here is a clip from a cover of Leon Russell's "Song for You" on Instagram.

Here's Al Green's "Let's Stay Together". Soulful voice on piano. He has 35 posts on Instagram and 1,395 followers.  I'm sure that will change soon.

I found one video under his moniker Franklin Angelo. It was in 2019. He was 14 years old. Damn. What a voice.
