For her seventh year competing in NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert, Lillian Frances performed “In My Feels” in Joshua Tree National Park — one of her favorite places, she says.
Closer to home, the Sacramento-based artist is most well-known for her work on synthesizers and her pop music production. But in the production space itself, she teaches classes on how to use software to create music, and she’s really keen on being a prominent woman in music production, of which there are very few.
Frances used to refer to herself as a “sonic collager” but nowadays she’s embraced calling herself by another term. “I’m really identifying with pop star as an energy,” she says. Frances recently met up with podcast co-host Nick Brunner for a conversation about her music and how she’s helping to change the industry, by bringing more women into it.
Listen to their conversation on our podcast, “Creativity in the Capitol,” available on streaming platforms.
