Every great musical journey begins with a spark of inspiration and a thirst for exploration. As an indie record producer, my story is a testament to the undying love for music and a relentless pursuit of searching inspirations via my record collections and latest top charts.
From the Beatles to the Rolling Stones, from Dr. Dre to the Daft Punks, without forgetting the Brit Pop of the 90s, here is a little overview of my eclectic and colorful musical repertoire that I have enriched since my teenage hood.
Musician and self-dictated music producer since the age of 16, I started recording demos and demos on Garageband with today's solid production technique for recording and mixing on Ableton.
My expatriation for 7 years in London allowed me to collaborate on a professional level with my former group Bad Lungs, with whom I was able to record with Nick Brine (Oasis, Ash, Super Furry Animals), where I occupied the role of composer and solo guitarist with Tom Rowlett (vocals) (ex Dexters) and Dominic Senett (bass) (ex Life in Films).
For all these years, I have continued to write, produce, and record independently through regular releases on my solo project, St. Franck (you can find us on all streaming platforms).
Recent opportunities have also led me to create and personalize compositions for the trailer of Turbulence podcast according to a special demand, as well as working with french producer Petit Fantôme.
Equipped with a professional home studio, I offer you to record and add sparks so we can take your song to ''record ready production"
