ARTIST ON THE WATCH: FRANKIE FLAWLESS

Frankie, tell us more about how you got into music!

Music has always been a part of my journey in life.

I don't go anywhere without it and I don't go one day without listening to it.

It's a huge part of what defines me as a person.

I woke up one day, two years ago and finally told myself that I need to take it seriously and see what happens.

I don't want that cliche of having regrets from not trying something you really wanted to try, ya know.

So, I got in touch with a local producer and the rest is history and it's been a good history so far.

What is your creative process when it comes to writing songs?

I honestly don't have one, haha!

I think that's a creative process in itself.

I can be anywhere at any time of the day and just start writing.

All these lyrics or words and phrases jump into my mind at random times and I take my phone out and just start writing.

It always seems to flow pretty easily too, so that's beneficial, especially if I'm on a deadline.

What would you say to aspiring artists who look up to your work?

Don't lose your smile.

A lot of times people get discouraged or are afraid of diving into something unknown, especially in the music world.

You gotta make sure to keep your damn head up and don't lose your true self by trying to copy someone else's favorite artist.

As oversaid as it is, you really need to be yourself.

Find your inner happiness and don't let go.

Always be the most respectful in the room.

And always have funny memes saved in your phone!

Do you have anything new or upcoming we can expect to see from you?

I actually just put out my newest single, "Up Next", with another upcoming independent artist, Lil' Bird.

I also got a good twerk anthem coming out soon, with the legend himself, Gorilla Zoe.

I'm super excited about that one.

Just waiting for live shows to happen again, so I can perform and connect with my fans in person.
