  • FRANK GATSON Jr
    FRANK GATSON Jr. - Bio Director/Artist Visual Developer Creative Director/Choreographer Frank Gatson Jr. discovered the world of dance after seeing the Broadway production of ‘The Wiz’. In 1980 he graduated from the University Of Wisconsin-Madison and began dancing for 'Up With People', an organization that travelled the world performing at all different kinds of venues even appearing at several Super Bowl halftime performances. Eventually, Frank worked his way up to official ‘dance captain’ and, finally, began to manage the show itself. He later moved to New York to study at the ‘Broadway Dance Center’ and ‘Alvin Ailey Dance Center’. After finishing his time at Ailey and Broadway centers he returned to University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and received a Masters in Theatre and Dance. He got his first professional break when he danced in Michael Jackson’s “Smooth Criminal” video and eventually moved to Los Angeles to pursue more opportunities. It was in L.A that Frank started his career choreographing for the legendary EnVogue. Attending a beauty pageant Frank had choreographed, Cindy Herron of EnVogue asked him if he'd help her choreograph her girl group's videos ‘My Lovin’ and ‘The Funky Divas Tour’. The rest is history. EnVogue exploded as Frank honed in his skills and developed what is now his signature style and as well as his ability to turn ordinary people into 'stars'. His talent and amazing vision caught the attention of Camille Yorrick at Sony Music who was in the early stages of Destiny's Child. Frank became their Creative Director and Choreographer while Destiny's Child became a huge success.

  • FRANK GATSON Jr
    FRANK GATSON Jr. - Bio Director/Artist Visual Developer Creative Director/Choreographer Frank Gatson Jr.’s directorial influence on the modern music scene cannot be overlooked. His background in dance paved the way for a deep understanding of how the medium can be expressed in all the visual arts, particularly moving images. Frank has a long history of working both in front of, and behind, the camera. Armed with a Masters in Theatre and Dance from the University of Wisconsin, he toured the world with Up With People, appearing in several Superbowl halftime performances. As a ‘dance captain’ Frank began his directing career managing the show itself. He later moved to New York to study at the Broadway Dance Center and with Alvin Ailey. Frank’s directing career was influenced early on by his work with Michael Jackson, working with the King of Pop on his Smooth Criminal video. This led to many opportunities, mostly on the West Coast, where he would be tapped to choreograph video and live projects for the legendary EnVogue, particularly My Lovin’ and The Funky Divas Tour. Frank has always been a passionate and enthusiastic artist, actively pursuing projects not only as a creative director and choreographer, but as a music video director too. As EnVogue exploded in popularity, Frank developed a unique directorial vision, the signature style of a true artist that caught the attention of Sony Music who was in the early stages of developing Destiny's Child. Frank became their creative director and choreographer, and Destiny's Child became a huge success. Frank also began directing music videos, quickly building an impressive resumé which included Trisha Covington, Smooth and R Kelly.
