Key Changes Artist 2025

I have always been exhilarated and inspired mainly by the many styles of video game music. I take influence from these styles and aim to make my own music sound fitting while also creating my own style. I often like to add an outer space and dreamy feel to my music as well as intertwine my ideas with my artwork to create my own fictional world. Although I have many ideas behind my music, I prefer to leave it open to the listeners. Music has helped me with anxiety and depression and played its part in helping me recover from psychosis. I now use my past hallucinations both visual and auditory to fuel my vision. I am currently working on multiple tracks in hybrid styles of orchestral and electronic.

Franklin Freshman grew up with various musical sounds, from soul , to Indie music. He first heard Hiphop, at the age of 8 when he was playing monopoly with family. The Fugees, was playing in the background. ‘Ready or not was playing and I was amazed by the beats and lyrics ‘. For an 8 year child, hiphop was interesting but it was later on his life that he decided to starting ‘’rapping’’. 

It was when a certain white hip-hop artist, called Eminem appeared on MTV with his hit ‘ Way I Am ‘, that this young teenager wanted to rap. At first, he was writing raw angry lyrics like the ones Eminem rapped. Then he got into So Solid Crew, DJ Luck Mc Neat and various other garage legends.  After this he started emceeing to Garage. This was when he was 12 years old. It was a few years later, that he would record his first song. This was called ‘ I’m amazing ‘, after playing a video game he gave himself the rap alter ego of Mazin. He had the lucky opportunity to record this song through a government funded youth initiative. He kept his head down and got a Business qualification. During break times, he would battle rappers and rap in cyphers. At that period, a new music genre was getting popular in his district called Grime. Grime was a mixture of jungle, drum & bass, hiphop and garage. With 140 BPM, so he started emceeing to Grime and was forming crowds of supporters. 

He decided to cut a single, at a youth club. Innocent produced it for him for about $25. This would go onto become his first ‘’hit’’ . Under his new artist name Glitz, he recorded ‘ Glitz In Tha Bitz’ . As soon as it was recorded he burnt loads of copies and distributed it in his local area. The track was popular and many people had it as their ringtone. Being young and naïve he didn’t understand the music industry so he didn’t pursue a record deal with the single. 

. The friend wanted his help to run the event and also to find music acts to perform live. This gave him a zest for music again after being quiet for a while. So the friend said, he should start going to open mics and perform. This lead to nearly a year and half of attending the open mic circuit. He had made a friendship with a hiphop DJ, who he attended open mics with. After Glitz changed to Franklin Freshman, since he felt it was time to grow up from a childish tag name. They were runners up, in the July 2012 ‘ In it To Win it ‘ music contest and the hiphop dj, helped pushed him musically to what you see today. 

The projects Franklin Freshman has released, are A Slice of Cake, Candy and Sunshine and The Free Soundcloud EP. The most recent, is his debut album, Seeking The Knighthood. He has released two singles from this album, the first being ‘Love Lost’ which achieved almost 5000 views on Youtube and the second Garage single ‘ Happy Days’.
