Frank Enea (born August 17, 1965) is an American rock musician, guitarist, singer, songwriter, and producer.[1] He is best known as the guitarist and co-writer of hit song “The Night Begins To Shine by B.E.R. (Telepictures)." The group’s name, ‘B.E.R.’ is derived from the last names of its members (Carl Burnett, Frank "Franklin" Enea, William J. Regan).[2] The song and group was featured on the popular cartoon, Teen Titans Go! from the Cartoon Network. Episode "40% 40% 20%" was based entirely on the song. In the episode, Cyborg’s obsession with his favorite song, an obscure 1980s hit, annoys his fellow Titans (Robin, Starfire, Beast Boy and Raven). However, they soon learn that Cyborg's real strength comes not from his robot parts, but from his favorite song.[3][4] The premiere amassed over 1.53 million viewers.[5] The song peaked at (#4) in the iTunes U.S. Rock Charts. It also charted well in the UK (#68), Mexico (#79), Australia (#25), and Japan (#9).[6]

In 1997, Frank opened Satellite Music Studios, a recording facility located in Mount Kisco, NY.[7] He got his start in the music industry with Atlantic Records in the 2000s. He founded ‘The Frank Enea Band' in 2006 along with Martin Stroh, Alex V, and Brian Newsholme. They signed with ACM Records.[8] He is the singer, guitarist, and songwriter for the group. The band has performed with national acts such as Smash Mouth,[9] Soul Asylum, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy,[10] The Bacon Brothers, Jakob Dylan, GE Smith, and more. Their official releases include, Fade To Black 1&2, Makeshift Days, Hellbound Blues, The Morning Show, Walk On Water, and Forever Mine.[11] In 2013, their song ‘Walk On Water’ was featured in the film, ‘Brilliant Mistakes.’[12] In addition to films, Frank’s work has been heard on popular television shows such as Rizzoli & Isles, Monster Garage, Pawn Stars, and more.
