Frankmusik (real name Vincent Frank) is a producer, songwriter from Thornton Heath, South East London, England. The name "Frank" is derived from the surname of his grandfather, whose name he took in tribute.
His interest in music began with his mum's Depeche Mode and Soft Cell records, but the band who changed his life were ELO. "I first heard them in my mum's car," he says. "The song was Evil Woman and it was the first time I'd heard treated strings. Then I heard Mr Blue Sky and that blew my mind. It was pioneering pop and it had the kind of epic quality I love".
After attending a Sussex boarding school and then drama college, Frank began releasing CDs. His debut EP, Frankisum, was released on Apparent Records, a label he co-founded with David Norland, in the fall of 2007. His music attracted the attention of producer Price, and he was signed to Universal/ Island soon after. Album Complete Me was released on 3 August 2009.
Now it seems Frankmusik is finally getting the gears in motion for the next stage of his career. Album Follow The Leader will be released in spring 2011 and he just unveiled the video for his new single The Fear Inside.
