BIOGRAPHY

Born in Lima in 1980, FRaNCo's first approach to music was in school at the age of 6, being selected to sing and play at the usual recitals and learned later on by himself to play the guitar. As a dreamer, he felt from the beginning the need to create his own lyrics and melodies rather than starting with covers. His passion to travel and his curiosity for all kinds of music continued through the years allowing him to meet performers of different styles, merging these influences into his creations. After moving to Europe, FRaNCo absorbs new experiences, music genres and instruments that made him the musician, composer and lyricist he is today. FRaNCo is currently living in Atlanta, GA, USA.

Sessions: Vetiver

“It’s always slightly confounding to me whenever Vetiver is depicted with the same tropes that people have read off of press sheets,” says Andy Cabic. “The same sort of milestones get mentioned but then no one really digs to find out that there are those other things going on.”

Behind The Song: “Ain’t Nothing Like the Real Thing”

Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell sang, it has been remarked, like lovers, although they weren’t. Similarly, Nickolas Ashford and Valerie Simpson, the team behind one of Marvin and Tammi’s most enduring hits, “Ain’t Nothing Like the Real Thing,” wrote as if under the influence of amatory forces; even if, in the spring of 1968,

Spoon: The Power of Transference

In 1995, Spoon were often dubbed “the next Pixies.” The tag never quite fit, but the two did share a love for writing glorious pop songs and then shrouding them with walls of noise and mystery. Over 15 years, the Austin, Texas band have survived lineup shuffles and early record label neglect, finding their signature style with 2001’s Girls Can Tell and quietly building one of the strongest rock catalogs of the decade.
