Fran Smith
Fran Smith (born 25 January 1986) is a singer, songwriter and pianist from Hull, UK. Influenced by strong, female rock performers such as Joan As Police Woman, Martha Wainwright, Stevie Nicks, and Deborah Harry, Fran claims that she has harboured a fierce desire to be a singer for as long as she can remember. Her earliest childhood memories are of avidly watching Top of the Pops and listening to the BBC Radio 1 Top 40 show with her parents as a toddler, and they encouraged her interest in music by arranging for her to have classical piano lessons from the age of six.
