Daniel “A.K.A. DRF” Frabotta

Daniel (DRF) is one of the most engaging talents to emerge from OC's indie scene over the past few years. His blend of catchy rock melodies and soothing ballads has continued to strike a chord with audiences across the spectrum. A native of Anaheim, California, Daniel studied music composition at nearby Fullerton College and brings that sensibility with him into the studio when developing new material. He has appeared throughout L.A. and Orange County, playing at shows and events with other artists such as Descention, Gerardo and RodZion as well as fellow Vision Media Artists Kwuam T. Adams and Endo. From coffee houses to churches to major events, Daniel can be found sharing his gift of song and would love to come to your event and share it with you.

God Bless

Daniel R. Frabotta - Everything I Need

There are times I feel so lost
Like a boat that's being tossed
Out on the waves
There's a voice inside my head
That reminds me someone said
That Jesus Saves
And I don't understand
So I'll leave it in your hands

Jesus
show me the way, I wanna
Follow where you lead
Please just
Don't go away, because you're
Everything I need


There are times I feel alone
And there's no one left at home
That I can call
There's a voice inside my heart
Telling me you'll never part
You're here through it all
And I don't understand
So I'll leave it in your hands

(Chorus)
