Drafting and planning - Artist Identity

Artist Identity

Name -  Frankie XX

Age - 27

Likes - Dance, alternative rock and electronic

Dislikes - Rap, Hip hop, classic Pop and Folk

Name of CD - 'Fear of tomorrow' is the name of Frankie XX's newly released album which is the first of many he states though he has released many of the songs as singles during the year Frankie has released exclusive content with his album including four new songs.

Cultural references - Though this artist was raised within England he does have a large influence from the Philippine culture and has slowly become introduced into the artist's music in songs such as 'Infinite mercy' and on his next album Frankie XX hopes to have a much larger influence of other cultures so that his music is more approachable to those all across the world 

Country - England

track lists - 'suburban sunrise' 'Dark religion' 'My moment belongs to you' 'infinite mercy' 'Surprise means nothing' 'Morning rider' and 'pull me down'

Previous history - After the musician struggled to rise to fame he decided that the only way to cope would be with alcohol which he slowly became dependant on. Though at the age of 26 Frankie had a revelation and decided to turn his life around and quit drinking which then inspired his newer music.

Motivations/themes of the album - Mortality is a large theme throughout this album which for some audiences may be slightly morbid but with Frankie's history with alcohol he admittedly came very close to the end when his alcoholism was at it's peak

Tour dates - The Frankie Tour will begin this July and the artist has decided to do a more low key tour with locations such as;

  • Liverpool
  • Sheffield 
  • Bristol
  • Nottingham
  • Manchester
  • Leicester
  • Newcastle
  • Birmingham
