Frankmusik

Frankmusik

Frankmusik, whose real name is Vincent Frank, is a relative newcomer to the music scene who has seen success in the British charts with his single 3 little words. Although his music defies any one genre, a fact Frank is very proud of, he has a poppy electric sound. The music relies on retro synth sounds and drum machines to create an upbeat melodic frenzy. It is truly a one-of a kind sound but yet still has mainstream appeal. Frank has all aspects of the music business covered, being a producer, a DJ, and an artist. At one point he was even a well-known beatboxer who went by the name of Mr. Mouth.

Since 2007 he has released four EPs, remixed numerous songs, and has an album release planned for June of this year. The album is being produced by Stuart Price, of Jacques Lu Cont fame, who produced Madonna's last studio album. Over the past two years, Frank has been a supporting act for Sam Sparro, Alphabeat, and Keane. He has remixed songs from the likes of Bloc Party, Keane, and Lady Gaga among others, adding his unique electro spin.

Recently he received some media attention because of his "live and lost" tour where he performed 12 shows in 12 days and relied on fans to get him between the gigs. This intimate interaction with his fans is something Frank prides himself on. He started the tour with just his blackberry and 20 pounds in his pocket and ended up getting to all 12 gigs. He filmed the entire experience, which has become popular on youtube and his myspace page. Frankmusik is definitely an act to watch for in the coming year, and with his album release approaching, he will be more and more in the spotlight, especially within the British music scene.
