#Risingartist: We are daydreaming with Frank about Strawberry Vanilla Sky
We had a great time chatting with newcomer Sydney Elliot or better known as Frank. Besides talking about her new song Strawberry Vanilla Sky which is out now.
More about Frank
Frank is a modern pop artist and songwriter from Indianapolis. The moniker of 25-year-old Sydney Elliott. Frank’s work has been shaped by a deep well of pristine soul and rock artists, as she cites Billie Holiday, The Eurythmics, Blondie, and Mazzy Star as guiding influences in her work. Her music and lyrics - as direct reflections of her personality- are raw, powerful, fearless, and rooted in her deepest convictions to be truthful with her audience.
Aesthetically, Frank arrives at the exhilarating intersections of sneering punk and shimmering retro glamour; her myriad of tattoos chronicles her life’s most defining moments thus far, and are offset by a penchant for the vintage stylings of icons like Edie Sedgwick and Annie Lennax.
Known for her powerful, evocative voice and striking live presence. Sydney spent three years fronting and touring the acclaimed 5-piece band Forstory. Sydney conceived Frank in 2022 from a desire to create music of her own design, that represents her connective instincts and truest musical taste. Frank embodies sonic modernity and futurism, as well as maintaining a reverence for the cinematic beauty and excellence of the great soul singers of the golden age of music.
In 2020, Frank was diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and is committed to being a staunch advocate for awareness, education, and research of the disease. Frank is poised to make a dramatic and visceral impact on the modern musical landscape.
