Some artists make music. Others become it. This week on Trims and Talk, we sit down with the extraordinary Franz Von, a musician who doesn’t just ride the wave of sound—he creates the current.
Meeting Franz Von at the MOBO Fringe event was a moment of revelation, but the truth is, I’ve been following this brother for years. His music—a masterful blend of jazz, hip-hop, and African dancehall—defies easy categorization. It is not simply played; it is felt, deeply rooted in the African diasporic tradition, calling upon rhythms that stretch across time and space. 🚀🎷🎤
But Franz Von is more than an artist. He is a teacher, a mentor, a cultivator of creative futures. Like Maya Angelou once said, “When you learn, teach. When you receive, give.” Franz embodies this spirit, ensuring that the next generation not only finds its voice but understands its power. Through his work with Trucks, he guides young minds toward self-expression, proving that music is more than entertainment—it is a weapon, a sanctuary, a revolution.
In this conversation, we talk about culture, legacy, and the responsibility of the artist. We discuss his beginnings, his influences, and why his music will stand as a testament to a generation that refuses to be boxed in.
✨ Tune in and be inspired. Because this isn’t just an episode—it’s a movement.
