Troy Francis

How does a young boy from a working class family practicing on a cardboard piano in Memphis grow up to compose a smash-hit stage musical, collaborate with Academy Award-winning sound engineers, discuss domestic arguments with Pulitzer-prize winning composers, and help a police force deal with grief? Concert pianist, composer, and arranger David Troy Francis grew up thinking of himself as “the other.” Music was a welcome escape from difficult situations that arose from feeling different and unaccepted. In this episode he tells his story of how music helped him find joy, create a career, and how he is continually using his gifts to bring that joy to “others.”
