Reverend Franklin “Bubby” Fann is a native of New Jersey, where he still resides with his wife, Teenay, and their son, Gary. Minister Fann, affectionately known as “Bubby” by all of his family, colleagues, and friends, is a gifted songwriter, as well as an anointed minister of the Gospel for such a time as this.

He later became the church organist; and with deep love and devotion to Gospel music, his true calling was realized as his ministry in music had spread from his father's church to mega church ministries and arenas around the world. Bubby Fann has performed in France, Jamaica, Switzerland, Spain, Austria, Germany, and Canada with Queen Ester Marrow and the Harlem Gospel Singers, where he served as Musical Director.
