Of the signing, Franklin shares: “When I first saw a video of The Walls Group, I knew they were something special. I was truly blown away by their vocal abilities at such young ages. And when I flew down to Houston to meet them, I couldn’t believe how down to earth and humble they were. I truly saw something unique in this group and I’m excited to start this new journey with The Walls.” Franklin has begun working with The Walls Group on their sophomore album scheduled for release in 2013. Later this month, the group will embark on a national tour, stopping in major cities including Lexington, KY, Indianapolis, IN, and Austin, TX.For more info on the group, visit their official website at www.thewallsgroup.org.
