As a child I attended an unofficial music school that one of my mom’s friends organised, as an extracurricular for the children on the island. That’s where I learned how to play the guitar, which was my first instrument. I was not good at it, but it made me fall in love with creating.
I made my first album “Retrovizor” during the lockdown of 2020. and independently released it. It appeared on Apple Music’s Top 100 Alternative Albums chart and helped me build a community around what I do that included fans, collaborators and parners. Since that release, my subsequent work has received praise from the likes of Elle Magazine, Ones to Watch, Early Rising, EARMILK, Storybook Magazine, Lyrical Lemonade and more. My music also found home on some editorial playlists, such as Lorem or Indie Pop on Spotify and helped me land partnerships with brands such as Camper or T-Mobile. My catalogue has been streamed over 50 million times online.
During the years 2021. and 2022. I kept creating more music, some for my own project, but also collaborating with others to create music for other musicians, film, TV and video games, as a ghostwriter. I spent a few months between New York and Los Angeles before finally returning back home to Croatia to start rehearsing for my tour: “Fran’s Very First Tour on Earth” which happened in 2023. all over Europe. I continued to play festivals for the majority of that year and by the end of it started making my second project, which is set to release in 2025.
