Meet Nuke Franklin | Musician

We had the good fortune of connecting with Nuke Franklin and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Nuke, where are your from? We’d love to hear about how your background has played a role in who you are today?
I’m from the Midwest, Cleveland, OH to be exact. I was raised in a single family household with just me, my little brother and my mother but we moved around the city a lot. That taught me how to be able to adapt in any room with people from any and every walk of life. Growing up in Cleveland in general taught me resilience, work ethic and to make the most out of the things I did have.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
My music is my perspective and thoughts on being a black boy growing up in the Midwest. The good, the bad and the ugly. Being a reflection of my environment instead of product of it is what makes me and my music unique. The passion of my delivery and the ability to articulate my thoughts well is what I’m the most proud of when it comes to my music. Getting to this point was far from easy, it took dedication, transparency and building a community of like minded people with one goal in common which is to inspire and elevate. If I had one thing I wanted people to know about me and my goal it is that it’s not for me it’s for legacy.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
All my friends know I’m the last person to ask about the hot spots in the city cause I’m pretty reserved lol but I would definitely recommend, for food, some spots like Scalpers or Baby D’s for the best wings in the city and Double Nickel for an amazing brunch or breakfast. For a good time on the night life side I would definitely recommend Re:Bar on East 9th, that’s my favorite go to spot. The staff and atmosphere at all of those places are great! Also, if the weather allows it you have to go to a MetroParks and experience that, the beauty and peacefulness of them are my favorite things about them.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My family deserves all the recognition. My mother specifically for bringing me into the world, her and the rest of my family for giving me the tools to become my idea of what a man is.
