At 12 years old, he was already writing songs. His inspiration came from the things that happened around him, like events that affects his everyday life.
Franco successfully combined his creativity with the different sounds of his roots. The Latin culture, Trinidad’s calypso music, and Jamaica’s signature beat are all present.
