Frankie Archer has exploded onto the electrofolk scene with music that transcends stereotypes using a combination of manipulated samples, synths, drumtracks and earthy Northumbrian fiddle and voice to capture her audience. Her aim? To shake up genres and traditions, challenge perspectives and call for a fairer future.
Winner of the 2023 Christian Raphael Prize, Frankie has been featured on ‘Later...With Jools Holland’ and championed by tastemakers at BBC Radio 2 and 6 Music. Following the release of her debut EP ‘NeverSoRed’ (November 2023), she has supported the likes of Futureheads and The Last Dinner Party. With her unique live set turning heads wherever she goes, Frankie is quickly establishing herself as “one to watch” in the alternative space.
