Franki Interview || Ashes to Ashes

Franki is an emerging indie pop artist and self-taught producer. Raised in England on 2000s dance music, she moved to Montreal, where she was drawn to the city's blossoming pop scene and unique energy. Starting out producing in her bedroom, Franki spent a long winter honing her craft before taking her new material to audiences, testing out new songs and shaping her debut EP, “All The Things I Try to Say.” On her release, she explores themes of self-discovery, navigating life with a newly developed frontal lobe, and the blissed out chaos that exists within her. Franki appeared on Ashes to Ashes to talk about the EP, her "undying love" for Lily Allen, and performing as Allen at CJLO's "Divas Live!" Halloween covers night for the station's annual funding drive. Original air date: October 28, 2025
