THE LONEWOLF

Franklin "The Lonewolf" Bozman

Early Life

Born in **Baltimore, Maryland**, Franklin was introduced to the system early in his life, being placed in **foster care** at just 8 months old. He faced a difficult start, suffering multiple fractures, dislocations, and broken bones (including healed over old fractures) while in care. He remained with his foster parents, Paul & Kathy Rabold, until he was three.

In 1997, he moved to **Auburn, Kentucky** with his father. Growing up as the oldest of five kids, he frequently moved between Kentucky and Tennessee, never knowing the luxury of settling down. He was raised by his father, Franklin Donnell Wayne Bozman Sr., and his step-mother, Maimee James Maynard (Crickett), from the ages of 5 to 12. His passion for music started young, drawing inspiration from idols like **Eminem, R Kelly, and 50 Cent**.

Career

Professionally, **The Lonewolf** has been demonstrating his musical gifts since **2019**, having spent years prior recording in studios and learning the tricks of the audio trade. His career took a major step when he and his rap partner/fiancé, Rica, were offered a distribution deal with **Roc Nation** in Manhattan. He also enrolled in **SAE Institute** for Audio Engineering.

After releasing three singles in mid-2020, he put his music down following the tragic passing of his little brother in June 2020. He has recently picked up the pen again and is preparing to release a full album—**produced, song written, and performed entirely by him**—in memory of his brother. The album, titled **"My Brothers Keeper" (MBK)**, will tell the previously untold backstory of Franklin's upbringing. The Lonewolf has already shared stages with well-known names like **Struggle Jennings and Haystak**, and has been shouted out by **Rittz** as an upcoming artist to watch.
