Despite being trained to become a cook someday, Frank Farian never forgot his love for music. After pursuing his passion for music, Frank Farian made his own name in his chosen industry.
He is the man behind the success of the popular disco group in the 70s, the Boney M. The group is noted for its signature dancing style, wild on-stage costumes, and the bass voice of its frontman Bobby Farrell.
Ten years after, Frank Farian played a vital role in the success of Milli Vanilli who became an instant media sensation. The group was able to sell 11 albums and 30 million singles before it was found that they lipsynched.
