BIOGRAPHY
“You are looking at the future of the guitar, right here!” – Tommy Emmanuel, CGP
Invited on stage at eight by his hero Tommy Emmanuel, with whom he later toured Europe, Frano Livingston is the boy who inspired Miguel in Disney/Pixar’s Oscar-winning Coco. He has played the guitar since the age of three, gave his first solo concert at five and started touring at nine. He has shared the stage with famous artists such as 2Cellos, Norah Jones, Keanu Reeves’ Dogstar, Gregory Porter, Al Di Meola and Zucchero, among many others. To date, Frano has played more than 400 concerts in 16 countries.
An award-winning guitarist, academically trained composer and born entertainer, Frano moves effortlessly between virtuoso fingerstyle, blues-rock, jazz, gipsy jazz and classical. His full-evening concerts – two hours and more – hold any audience from the first note to the last encore.
Available for concerts, festivals, corporate and private events.

THE YELLOW MOUSE
At the Chet Atkins Appreciation Society Convention, Tommy Emmanuel CGP handed Frano his “Yellow Mouse” Maton guitar.
Django Reinhardt Legacy
JAZZ MANOUCHE
Frano is just as devoted to keeping Django Reinhardt’s music alive – playing the gypsy-jazz repertoire with the original fire and passing that spark on to a new generation of guitarists.
Classical Music Legacy
ORCHESTRATOR & CONDUCTOR
Frano was writing music for several voices at the age of four. At twelve, his first orchestral work won him the Rudolf and Margita Matz scholarship – and at fourteen he premiered it himself, as classical guitar soloist with the Dubrovnik Symphony Orchestra.
