Multi award-winning singer-songwriter Frankie Wesson started writing songs and performing in her hometown of Abergavenny at the age of 16. Her cinematic songs draw inspiration from her personal experiences of bitter-sweet nostalgia, unrequited love, teenage angst and the complicated reality of growing up LGBT+.
Raised on artists like Alanis Morisette, Eva Cassidy and Stevie Nicks. Wesson also takes inspiration from a mix of contemporary artists such as Deaf Havana, MUNA, Taylor Swift, and Gabrielle Aplin.
Her versatile vocal range and talent for emotive, relatable song writing makes for captivating live performances and songs that’ll soon become part of your musical diet.
Frankie’s original songs have been featured on BBC Radio 6, BBC Radio Wales and BBC Introducing as well as Spotify’s ‘Chilled Pop Hits’ and ‘New Music Friday’ playlists.
In 2023 she was the winner of Tredegar House Folk Festival’s songwriter competition with single ‘Just Friends’ about queer unrequited love. 2024 also saw her single ‘Delicate’ win Best Song at the Love Live Music Awards.
Swansea’s Soundboard magazine described Wesson’s music as ‘timeless; appealing to fans of Fleetwood Mac and Paramore alike without compromising or diluting any of the style that makes Wesson’s music her own’.
She has performed at Pride Cymru at Cardiff Castle, How The Light Gets In – in Hay On Wye and London, Cardiff Music City Festival, Monmouth Festival, Swansea Fringe, Worcester Music Festival, Down on the Farm and many more.
