Frankie Viera may only be 13 years old, but he has a big message to share. The young Phoenix rapper, who was up for Grammy consideration last year for Best Hip Hop/Rap Song against the likes of Drake and Nikki Minaj, speaks out against bullying through his music.
When his music career began taking off two years ago, Frankie transferred to Arizona Virtual Academy (AZVA)*, a full-time online public charter school that serves Arizona students K-12, in order to have the flexibility to record, perform and complete his school work.
While never a victim of bullying himself, Frankie became inspired to join the fight against bullying after witnessing terrible bullying in his previous school. The bullying eventually led to a traumatic situation involving his close friend which prompted him to write the anti-bullying song "Say Something."
Luckily, Frankie has not experienced any bullying since switching to AZVA, but that doesn't keep him from spreading the message and working to protect other kids.
