The Knockturnal: What first got you into music? What inspires you to make music?
Franki Amour: I’ve always loved music growing up. I taught myself how to sing just by listening to the radio ALL DAY at an early age. Anything inspires me when it comes to creating music. Life, love, ego, triumphs.
The Knockturnal: When it comes to producing your music, what do you feel is the biggest challenge?
Franki Amour: In all honesty the emotions had to be aligned. Whatever it is you’re expressing at that given moment, the emotion needs to sync.
The Knockturnal: What are you excited about for fans to hear from your project, “Beautiful Chaos”? What is the meaning behind the name of the album?

The Knockturnal: While creating your single ‘Love Scars’ what was your inspiration? What was your thought process when including personal aspects about relationships and allowing yourself to be vulnerable?
Franki Amour: Creating “Love Scars” was simple actually. I took personal experiences that I’ve dealt with (which I thought was funny) and decided to come up with a bop. It was one of those reciprocations type of vibe. “Don’t get mad when I do you how you do me” feeling lol.

The Knockturnal: Describe your background in fashion and beauty? Who are some fashion icons that inspire you?
Franki Amour: I’ve always had a passion for fashion and beauty. I wanted to become a runway, print model as well lol. I find every model that walks high fashion runways breathtaking. Naomi, Tyra and Iman were the blueprint for brown skinned girls…. Now you have a handful cat walking all over the world and it’s so beautiful to see. There’s toooo many iconic designers to name but 2 of my favs were McQueen and Mugler … The edgy yet gloomy fashion was Astonishing and mesmerizing. Very enchanting and sexy as hell. Such “Beautiful Chaos” There will never be another McQueen and baby wait until I am.
