Franc Cinelli was born in Italy in 1979 and raised in London since the age of four. His introduction to music came from his mother's record collection : "Springsteen, The Police, Dire Straits, Pink Floyd & Bob Marley were the big hitters" he comments.
He started playing the violin when he was about 10 and quit that in favor of the guitar a few years later. Writing his own songs came easier than learning to play "properly" so that's what he did and pretty much stuck to that mantra up until the making of this new record (see his 'track by track' comments further below).
The bands he has played in have always been his own. Prior to playing under his own name, he used the moniker Goodtimes Goodtimes under which he released his first record 'Glue' and following that the eponymous 'goodtimes goodtimes' record produced by Danton Supple (Coldplay, Morrissey).
Like all good troubadours, he spent a lot of time touring by himself, not just the length and breadth of the UK (quite literally from Hastings to Stornoway) but throughout the East Coast of the USA, Texas & Tennessee, and in his native Italy. He regards the road as the school of songwriting, and, he adds "its rather good fun".
