Frantic


After nearly a decade of quietly honing his poetry skills and amassing a pile of notebooks filled with scribbled rhymes, Frantic hit the slam poetry circuit in early 2020 and the rest is history. Finding success in the slam poetry stages of the Inspired Word Cafe and racking up a handful of competitive poetry wins (including the slam champion of 2021), he turned his eyes towards his ultimate goal - music.

With a background in drumming and holding now-confident poetic abilities he began studying music production in his spare time, quickly realizing he lacked the musical theory knowledge required to craft the melody-driven beats he desired to backlight his lyrics. Shelving his production desires, he acquired a beat-up Casio keyboard for $20 and borrowed a stack of Introduction to Piano books and committed to one to two hours of practice a day for a full year, eventually falling in love with the instrument and returning to production.

With a love of all things dramatic and expressive, he brings a mixture of his favorite aspects of music to the forefront of his art. With the strings and horns of classical music, the lyricism and vulnerability of poetry and the dramatics of the stage - Frantic is here to weave a story to keep you spellbound.
