Miguel Leyva better known as Frunkyman is a cannon fodder of all things funky. Hailing from Northern California, he is a composer, bassist, and an experimenter of groove and harmonic tincture.

His latest releases include three singles recorded with Bay Area award winning engineers and released independently in all streaming platforms. Now arrives to Art Boutiki to release his first album “The Frunk is Real” Infusing a whimsical twist into his persona, Frunkyman is a fictional extraterrestrial character unintentionally marooned on Earth. His mission involves spreading "frunk" across the planet with his mothership (the band) as he endeavors to find his way back to Fropiter. Further details about the lore of Frunkyman can be explored on his social media platforms.
