I think I get a lot of ideas from when I was a kid, listening to Casey Kasem's 'American Top 40.'
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My kids definitely give me all of my ideas. I'm always listening to what they talk about, how they play, what they play. Their imaginations are so incredible.
I keep this crazy notebook of song ideas.
I'm a child of the 70's; influenced mostly by albums that had a wide variety of style.
When I was 16, I really discovered good stuff like Detroit techno or gabba from Holland.
I have ideas all of the time from the beginning, but they never really wind up turning out like I thought they would.
As a really young child, I was listening to the echoes of the age before, music hall and stuff like that, as well as classical bits on the radio.
I internalize a lot of thoughts, and sometimes it seems like I'm not listening or totally zoned out, but I'm always on a loop of ideas and song titles. I'm definitely kind of a space cadet, but I'm very laid back.
I really want younger audience members to see kids in their early 20's playing Frank's music and to be inspired to take things to a higher level themselves.
When I started to make music at the end of the '90s, I saw myself highly influenced by hip-hop and techno, but I wanted to apply these ideas to something from the local sound; something that had identity, that would say who we were and where we came from.
Music was very influential on me as a kid.
