Francis G
“Considered one of the best guitar players in Porto (Portugal), Francis is now recording his first solo album in Luxembourg”
Our Love Is Forever - New single (All rights reserved at S. P. A.)
What started as a passion in youth became a lifestyle. For more than ten years Francis worked on many portuguese projects that had grown in music with him.
Engaging music in a professional way he studied at the "Professional Music School in Porto" and later at the “Conservatoire de Musique de Luxembourg”.
As the years passed by, Francis improved as a successful songwriter, a composer and a guitar player; in fact it was on the guitar that he achieved the highest levels and virtuosity techniques.
Playing guitar, bass, drums, keyboards and singing in many groups, this “one man band” soon realized it was time to endure a solo carrier.
The pursuit of new challenges and a superior music experience brought Francis to the centre of Europe, where the environment of a classical musical background is a strong asset for those who chase perfection.
His solo album is highly expected for 2005, supported by Adrenaline Records.
Discography
In the year of 2001 the portuguese label Recital Records decided to honour Tarantula (one of the most meaningful names in the portuguese heavy metal scene) with a recording of a tribute CD “Twenty years of”. Having performed on four tracks and being the artist with the most songs recorded, Francis proved that he was one of the most creative musicians in this special gathering.

Meanwhile other projects were brought to the public such as the debut album “Rebel Heart" from Nordica (rock) and a video clip from the track number 3 "Give It All".
After that the German radio-station “Munich’s Hardest Hits” released the “Melodic Rock Is Back vol. 5” that included this same song from Nordica.
He recorded the album “World Wild Web” with the heavy metal band Web, and a couple of months later recorded a Nordica EP.
The versatility of Francis as a musician links him with many different styles of music, always leaving his special touch of diligence as we could clearly hear in the "Pandora-X" jazz-fusion project.
