James Franklin wrote his first song at 7, started his first band at 11 and had his first professional gig at 15. Often having to lie about his age to get into venues he was playing, Franklin found his feet almost immediately in the music scene in Melbourne, Australia, playing successful gigs with 5 Seconds Of Summer, Gavin James and Joan Osborne during his formative years.
