    Born in Brooklyn and raised in Huntington, NY, Frank Cubillo is the "voice” and "energy” behind "FRANK SINGS FRANK”, a unique Frank Sinatra Tribute singing/entertainment act that has been very popular in the Hampton Roads area of South-Eastern Virginia for more than a decade. 

    Frank retired from the U.S. Marine Corps in 2009 (as a full colonel) after serving over 37 years active duty. He's been singing all his life and grew up highly influenced by the music of the 40's,50's and 60's…Sinatra, Dean Martin, Tony Bennett, Bobby Darin, Nat King Cole, and Ella Fitzgerald records were always playing in his home on Long Island. Frank sings constantly: for the past 22 years he's been a cantor and tenor in his church choir, and sings with a harmony vocal group consisting of 3 men and 2 women called "Fond Memories”. Frank is a self-taught Frank Sinatra aficionado, constantly studying and rehearsing Sinatra’s impressive musical body of work, and who has, over several decades, learned to sing (by heart) and perform over 385 of Sinatra's hits.
