Home Frango

Home Frango – comprising of keyboard player, drummer and producer Fletcher Jarvis, based in Portugal and bassist, guitarist, and producer Leo Geller from Norway – are a dynamic duo who initially met while residing in a defunct old people’s home turned guardianship in London.

Though run-down and faintly perilous, the two residents discovered friendship and creative synergy, resulting in unwavering Jams. Leo and Fletcher soon uncovered shared interests that unknowingly formed the beginning of Home Frango. Temporarily, the two sought different paths, eventually leading to the project’s birth in Barcelona. While working on a film set, Fletcher felt compelled to create music again. Without hesitation, armed with a 1980s Honda Accord gifted from the film set, he loaded it with a drum kit, synthesisers, and a few microphones, embarking on a non-stop journey from the north of England to Leo in Barcelona, fuelled solely by Red Bull, heavy metal, and cigarettes.

Drawing inspiration from diverse sources, Leo’s upbringing was immersed in music, surrounded by many friends who were musicians. He furthered his musical journey by studying music and becoming a scholar after his education in London. Fletcher, also surrounded by music as a kid, raised on an eclectic catalogue from the 60s & 70s from his father and mother, took to playing and teaching himself the drums at the age of 12 and ended up in a band with his brother. His journey led him to embark on tours across Europe in that band at just 15 years old.

Combining a myriad of experiences and eclectic influences, Home Frango discovered profound joy in crafting a project that embodies camaraderie, navigating through moments of resilience and vulnerability.
