Frank Walker is a Canadian electronic musician and DJ.[1] He is most noted for his single "Only When It Rains", a collaboration with Astrid S which was a Juno Award nominee for Dance Recording of the Year at the Juno Awards of 2020.[2]
The son of Canadian business executives Donald J. Walker and Belinda Stronach,[3] he was groomed by his family for a career with the family company, Magna International, and began to pursue music as a hobby while studying business at Wilfrid Laurier University.
Following his graduation he decided to pursue music instead of stepping directly into a job with Magna, and released his debut EP Nocturnal in 2016.[4] He followed up with the EP 24 in 2017.
The singles "Heartbreak Back", with Riley Biederer on vocals, and "Footprints", with Callum Stewart, followed in 2018,[4] and "Only When It Rains" was released in 2019.
On May 24, 2024, Walker released his debut studio album called Origin. The album has been described by Walker as a callback to progressive house and the golden era of electronic dance music of the 2010s.
