VI.BE

Francis is into music since he was 8 years old, and his mam put her violin in his small hands and said 'now this violin is yours to play, son'. So the studied the violin until his 18th birthday. First rock band (Tribe) from 1990 to 2001, where he played the violin and the electric guitar. And some vocals. Francis wrote or co-wrote most of the songs of Tribe, he recorded 2 CDs (Temper and Stone Cold), and played numerous gigs in numerous venues in the Flanders area, as well as performances on regional and national TV at the time.

By the year 2000, Francis got more and more attracted to electronic music. Moving away from the rock and live scene, he spent more time at the recording gear in his project studio. Two music projects in the period 2000-2005: the dance metal project Unk! (www.unk.be, where 3 online albums are free to download) with the bass player and singer of the metal band Starspawn, and KNF - a collaboration with the former Tribe drummer in Paris.

Realizing that he needed to chose between performing live and being in the studio, Francis chose to become a free-lance music producer. He specializes in emerging bands and artists, looking to publish their first albums.
