Franklin Jonas began his solo music journey in college, when he started experimenting with beatmaking; crafting samples directly from vinyl and diving deep into the world of music production. After studying audio engineering under mixing mastermind John McBride, Franklin took a break from music, until inspiration struck during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. Amidst writing and recording new music—alongside Charlie Brand of Miniature Tigers. Merging hip-hop’s rhythmic gait, the anything-goes perspective of classic indie rock, and a colorful sampledelic approach, Franklin's debut album Sewer Rat due out Fall of 2023 is the sound of falling in love with sound as well as a thrilling suggestion of what’s to come from Jonas.
