About Me
My Background
Hip Hop has always been a large part of my life. As a child I was fascinated with rhythm and patterns and this came to life when I started to write my own lyrics at the end of high school. This has then flourished into what it is now 8 years down the track. Creating self introspective music to hopefully connect with an audience or person on deeper level.
My Mantra
My mantra when making is music is writing about myself and my issues. It has always been an easy outlet for me due to my difficulty in expressing myself. I like to explore different sounds to be versatile and express myself through as many means as possible.
My Aims
I aim to make music for the people that feel like they are alone. I want to make sure that they aren’t alone in this journey that we call life. Everyone has a different journey that they are going through, but in one way or another we are all on the same journey.

A Walking Contradiction
My thoughts on the album - having only listened to Late Night Drives earlier this year, I involuntarily began drawing comparisons and seeking key differences, be they criticisms or improvements, between the two albums. The unique flow and layered lyricism remain prominent in each title; both elements rapidly becoming a signature for the name “Frame”. The consistency in the album’s timing, tempo and tranquil atmosphere deserve a nod to Frame’s vision for the album and ability to maintain said vision over several tracks; this makes the album perfect for audiences seeking a chill, yet thought provoking experience. The themes expressed in each song, whilst both personal and emotional in delivery, are fitting to some of the thoughts listeners are or have been prone to. This is another similarity to Late Night Drives that again speaks to Frame’s intended flow and one I have only praise for. As far as my thoughts after experiencing Frame’s last album and this one in such close proximity, I must exhibit a yet-to-be-satisfied desire for experimentation from the artist. While each song puts together a story that reflects the perspective and, ultimately, professed conflicts within the artist, I was still left wanting something more. The similarities between each track led the album to begin feeling like a segmented narrative. The positives in such construction for this album I reinforce; Frame invites a mesmerising state of mind for his audience, pleasantly incomparable to artists of a similar style and calibre. The down side for said construction would be a difficulty in singling out particular tracks for individual appreciation or criticism; I felt if I selected a single song from the album alone I was only hearing a piece of a larger tale. Again, audiences seeking such composition are in for an exceptional collection of songs, best experienced consecutively and with an ear for grounded, raw lyricism. 6/10
