Kirk Franklin

Kirk Franklin (born {{birth date|1970|1|26 in Fort Worth, Texas) is an American Gospel music singer and author and is most notably known as the leader of urban contemporary gospel choirs such as the Family, God's Property and 1NC (One Nation Crew).

Biography
Early years
A native of Fort Worth, Texas, Kirk was raised by his great aunt, Gertrude Franklin after having been abandoned as a baby by his mother. Gertrude collected and resold aluminium cans to raise money for Kirk to take piano lessons from the age of 4. Kirk excelled in music, able to read and write music by ear. He received his first contract offer at the age of 7 which his aunt turned down.<ref name="exodusnews">{{cite web|url=http://www.exodusnews.com/entertainment/Entertain008.htm|title=Exodus news</ref>. He joined the church choir and became music director of the Mt. Rose Baptist Church adult choir, at the age of eleven.

Despite his strong religious upbringing Kirk rebelled in his teenage years, and in an attempt to keep him out of trouble, Gertrude arranged an audition for him at a professional youth conservatory associated with a local university. He was accepted and while his life seemed to be on track for a while, the announcement of a girlfriend's pregnancy and his eventual expulsion from school for behavioural problems proved otherwise.
