Frances Castley, a young, aspiring singer/songwriter, grew up in the busy town of Auburn. Currently at the age of 19, she is undergoing tertiary studies at the Australian Institute of Music, studying a Bachelor of Music: Contemporary Performance and majoring in Voice. She picked up her first guitar at the age of 13, and with no professional lessons, taught herself enough to be able to accompany herself while singing. She was privileged enough to have a piano sitting at home, gathering dust, so she decided to put it to good use and teach herself that too.

She immediately fell in love with this music and aspired to become a musician, just like Delta Goodrem. She slowly began to develop an ear for music, with no professional vocal training.

Frances Castley is a Sydney-based singer/songwriter and performer. Her musical journey began with a guitar, a Delta Goodrem album and internet connection. Starting out as a bedroom singer whose YouTube Videos proved to be 7 years of much needed soul therapy throughout her teenage-hood, Frances now finds herself with years of experience busking on the streets, performing at venues all over Sydney, and co-running live music entertainment business, Sydney Acoustic Duo, for weddings and corporate events. In December 2015, Frances released her first acoustic EP "Meet Me On the Other Side" with its launch at the Brighton Up Bar being a success. After years of refining her craft as a folk singer, Frances is now dabbling and experimenting with electronic sounds and hopes to create her own unique musical conglomeration.
