Frankie’s bio:

Frankie crafts raw, introspective pop that captures the beauty and chaos of being human. As a Nashville native, she grew up immersed in music, performing alongside her jingle-writing father, studying The Beatles’ discography, and playing in churches from a young age.

Known for her candid lyricism, melody-driven songwriting, and hauntingly sad covers, Frankie has built a reputation for delivering songs that feel both deeply personal and universally relatable.

In 2020, she released Stages of Grief, a cinematic concept EP exploring grief as she grappled with the adolescent loss of her mother. She followed it in 2023 with Sad in Paradise, an alt-pop EP that explored mental health through melancholy beauty and sweeping orchestral moments.

Her 2025 EP, It’s kind of a mess in here., turned inward again, tracing growing pains, anxiety, motherhood, and the fear of losing control through some of her most immediate, pop-forward songwriting yet. In 2026, she returned to the project with an extended edition featuring newly reimagined versions of songs from the record.

Across each release, Frankie continues to pair memorable melodies with intimate, unfiltered storytelling, making music for anyone trying to make sense of their past, their future, and everything happening inside their head along the way.
