Get Away With Shaun Frank
The #Journey2SMF has officially begun, and we’re thrilled to be riding along with Shaun Frank. Now known for uplifting, vocal-driven tracks like “LA LA LAND” and “Let You Get Away,” the artist got his start singing in a band, a project that ultimately landed him vocal features on dance tracks. As he became increasingly involved in the electronic music space, Frank eventually tried his hand at ghost producing and was soon proudly releasing music under his own name. Recently, he turned back into his band roots, shooting live music videos for both aforementioned songs that feature a full session band jamming out in the studio.
From co-writing on The Chainsmoker’s chart topper “Closer” (and even convincing Drew Taggart to sing on the track) to his latest release, a saucy anti-love song entitled “No Future,” we couldn’t think of a better guide on this unforgettable #Journey2SMF.
