A rapper and MC from Newham, East London, Eklipse started MCing in the summer of 2007 after going on a music course at the Roundhouse in Camden, meeting other people his age doing music such as Multi, Levelle London and KZ. He then fell in love with the genre that most of London’s youth are raging about: Grime. He started writing lyrics from then on and now has the lyrical ability to expand his horizons in to almost any genre as long as he has an instrumental to write to.

He proved his love for both art-forms when he organised an event called Barz & Stanzas at the Southbank Centre. Attracting a crowd of 400 he displayed his talents along side young stars of both genres; Voltage, No.Lay, Double S, Floetic Lara, Jay Bernard and Kayo Chingonyi. Hosted by Klayze Flaymz of RED Hot and with Dj Merciless of Age Iz Nuffin on the decks the event had established people of both arenas in the crowd such as Chipmunk and Lemn Sissay.

He has since released two EPs and recorded videos with youtube channels such as PWTV and UV.UK. Now its 2015 and Eklipse is looking to take his music to new heights with EPs to coincide with the dropping of his mixtape Dark Matters.

Brisbane native, Young Franco is well and truly establishing himself as one of Australia’s most legendary producers. His discography is sitting on over 180 million streams across all singles to date, with over 1 million monthly listeners on Spotify and three ARIA Certified Gold records. 

2023 has seen him take stages all across the US and Europe for a string of sold-out headline shows where he followed with huge slots at Aus festivals Splendour In The Grass and Listen Out festival. This followed a huge 2022, where he performed in the US for Lollapalooza and Portola whilst locking in key AUS Summer festival slots for  Falls Festival, Spilt Milk and Lost Paradise.

Over the past two years Young Franco has soundtracked the new-look Australian Football League, and received global sync’s for brands including Apple, Starbucks, Topshop and Kia.
