When he decided to record his first song, he wanted to do it for himself. After recording the track, he marketed it to members of the church. But that record track accidentally came into the hands of his pastor, who was awed by his magical voice and decided to help the young boy succeed.

Chris Oyakilome invited Frank to perform live in the church, and that was the turning point. Frank Edwards is a member of the LoveWord Music Ministry alongside top music artists like Sinach, Joe Praize, Eben, and Ada Ehi.
