This is the most personal thing I’ve ever shared. My biological mother has passed, and my adoptive mother who raised me is in hospice. It’s taken me a month to be able to try to say something without having to stop because I literally can’t get speak sentences through the crying. Processing loss—especially when it’s layered and complex—is not easy to put into words. In this video, I try. If you’ve ever struggled with grief, family, or the emotions that don’t fit neatly into a box, I invite you t

A Soulrocker Retreat isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about remembering yourself. It’s presence. It’s listening inward. It’s giving yourself space to ask the questions your life doesn’t always slow down enough for and to finally hear the answers. And then it’s joy. It’s big belly laughs, live music, sunset swims, and dance parties in the jungle. It’s finding the people who remind you that you don’t have to carry everything alone. We’ve seen hundreds of guests leave Bali lighter, clearer, nouris

This is how the two of us take a 3 minute afternoon break from the crazy. (And I’m sure you know, these days have been next level crazy). When we need to hit the reset button extra hard we grab a guitar and a love song (with a very misleading title) about seggs, dr*gs and rock & roll. Just so we can get back to life’s mission - full strength!!!❤️🤘🏽💪🏽😊 Lemme know below if you need a momentary break so you can come back being your most ferociously beautiful self!!!

Social media and I have a complicated relationship. On one hand, it feels like it’s slowly draining my soul (and brain cells). On the other, it’s an amazing way to connect with you heart to heart, kind of like when I’m playing live and we’re vibing together… except there’s no 3 hour soundcheck and fewer spilled drinks. So, I’m humbly (okay, maybe slightly desperately) asking for your help. What do you actually want to see from me here? More music? Behind-the-scenes chaos? Me rambling into the ca

Tour training requires a highly specialized skill set. This is the first installment of my intense training regimen. Most people focus on cardio, but they completely overlook the real MVP of touring… the lips. And let’s be honest, mine get a serious workout—between singing every night (and, of course, they’ve gotta stay fresh for kissing my wife Sara between shows!) @saraagahfranti ❤️❤️❤️😊😊😊 That’s why every morning, before I even think about a microphone, I put my lips through their paces wi

Leading a team isn’t just about strategy — sometimes you’ve gotta channel your inner aura farmer and vibe everyone forward!! Because progress isn’t always made in boardrooms… sometimes it’s made with big energy and bigger dance moves!! #michaelfranti #aurafarming #indonesia | Michael Franti and Spearhead

This song is special for me. 🙏🏽❤️‍🩹🙏🏽 Life has a way of holding joy and sorrow in the same breath. In my last post a few days ago, I shared about losing my biological mom, my adopted mom being in hospice, and, at the same time, Sara and I preparing to welcome our new baby into the world. This song, Heaven With You, is for all of them. It’s to introduce our new new baby to our wonderfully crazy family —seven months in utero and they’re already filling our lives with light, for my adoptive mo

After a beautiful week of connection and reflection leading a retreat with @chipconley at @meawisdom I’m now stepping into a deeply personal journey — honoring the life of both my mothers with their funerals/celebrations of life only 3 days apart this week. Singing ‘Be Who You Are’ tonight holds even more meaning for me, a reminder that in both grief and joy, we find strength in authenticity, community, and love. Thank you for holding my family and me in your hearts. #bewhoyouare #family #grief

There are days—so many of them—when fear, insecurity, self-doubt, and perfectionism have paralyzed me. When the voices whisper/scream, ‘You can’t, you shouldn’t, you’re not good enough.’ This song is for those days. The ones that test me—like today. It’s about courage, resilience, and looking fear in the eye, telling it to F off, and standing in your truth - because feeling is healing! 💪🏽❤️‍🩹🤘🏽 No matter what stands in your way—whether it’s real or just a story your mind keeps playing—which

Question: Are vibes real? Or are we all just making sh*t up? 🫨🤓✌🏽 Ya know when you walk into a room and instantly feel something? Maybe the tension is so thick you can make a smoothie with it, or maybe it’s all sunshine and high-fives?🌞😎 So… are “vibes” just emotions we make up in our heads, or are they tangible things? The other day, I yelled my friend’s name while he was speeding on a scooter, through his helmet, over the noise of traffic—and somehow, he heard me. That made me think… soun

BREAK UP WITH EVERYTHING THAT YOU DON’T NEED. Currently working on breaking up with all the things that don’t serve me anymore. Here are 5 things I am saying “peace out” to - what about you? Drop yours in the comments and let’s start fresh together. It’s proven if you write it down or speak it out loud you’re more likely to make the changes come to life - so make your own video and tag me - I want to see what YOU’RE breaking up with!

Feeling endlessly grateful! You all sold out the presale faster than we ever imagined. 🙏🏽 So I’m leaning into the creativity…my friend’s flying in from Nashville to write with me the next couple weeks. I would love to share the journey, the stories, and whatever songs decide to show up. Can’t wait to bring you along and give you more BTS. ✌🏽✌🏽✌🏽 | Michael Franti and Spearhead

“Be who you are - nothing more and nothing less. Be who you are - don’t try to second guess. You ain’t gotta be the best. All you gotta do is - be who you are and you’ll find the very best in you.” @Nathanthoen and I had an epic day of filming planned… but Mother Nature had other ideas. One take in, BOOM—tropical downpour - lightning included. Did we pack it up? Nope. We kept the phone rolling (bag of rice ready to dry it out…does that hack even work?) sang through it, and let the rain do its th

One of my favorite things to do is watch others feel their feelings outloud when they listen to a song. You can see them in small moments. These are the moments , and gifts you give to me. I got to watch some of my crew watching the video for the first time… This one drops on Friday, 7th of March!! 🔥🔥 Comment ‘SONG’ i’ll personally send you a link to presave my song “Be Who You Are” 🎶 | Michael Franti and Spearhead

Seeing all your end of year music posts like @spotify wrapped honestly makes my heart full. Thank you for listening. For sharing. For adding my songs to your life this year. ❤️ It never gets old knowing that something I made in a quiet moment ended up walking with you through your days in small and big ways. I don’t take that lightly. I really don’t. And if you’re someone out there just starting out in music or creating anything from your heart, I want you to hear this part the most… Please don’

Today is the BIRTHDAY of my incredible wife, Sara @saraagahfranti —a woman who lights up my life every single day. We met 16 years and 8 months ago and spent three of those years as friends. Since then, we’ve shared more than our fair share of highs and lows—perfect days and days when we couldn’t agree on anything (except that we still loved each other). Through it all, we wake up most mornings saying how grateful we are to be in each other’s lives, to have the family we’ve built, and to laugh t

A couple of days ago, I posted a snippet of Rise Up, and some of you asked for the full thing—so here it is, raw and real, first time on guitar. This song is about looking in the mirror and telling my fears they don’t pay rent here. It’s about getting back up, even when life body-slams me (which is often, and frequently of my own doing 😜😁). Let me know if you like these rough acoustic versions. Also, I a really appreciate y’all embracing this music the way you have. I went deep on this record
