about nontoxic...

A love song to a partner and a lover and a partner’s lover and a lover’s partner. Nontoxic tells a story of consent, clarity, desire, polyamory, kink, care, and commitment, all the while reimagining real love as something more than a 4-letter word. Something nontoxic.

Poppy, disco-y, soaring, heartfelt, anthemic, and just a little tongue-in-cheek(s). Press play.

about Piece of Me...
The echo of a whirlwind “almost-romance” across the wine-drenched and sun-kissed cities of Portugal, “Piece of Me” is a love letter to unrequited love, a cautionary tale about the mirage of consent, a fantasy daydream about “what could have been,” and a reflection on giving your energy to a situation where both parties win parts of one another but lose pieces of themselves along the way.

Steeped in the kizomba style of Afro-Portuguese beats playing in the clubs of Lisbon, where Franki wrote “piece of me,” this song beckons you to dance… but to choose your partner wisely.

ABOUT

Music for earthbound misfits

When the electromagnetic fields created by the moons of Jupiter coalesced into a single earthbound consciousness, they created the seed of Franki Jupiter. After billions of years of universal travel and evolution, this legion entered the form that is now seen wandering the earth singing fractal iterations into ephemeral existence. Celebrated vocalist of the year, 3 time battle of the band winner, multi-instrumentalist, and lifelong singer & songwriter, Franki has woven their penchant for poetry, presence, and passion into tales of love, home, and belonging.

An exvangelist and koan-clouded bodhisattva, Franki delights in deftly nicking pieces from the mythos of western Judeo-Christian religions and braiding them into the oceanic philosophies from the Far East and India.

His music invites listeners to walk a tightrope that has been stretched precariously over the modern ethos, and dive towards the revolutionary romanticism that requires a true faith; to build the net on the way down.

The son of a preacher man and founder of the Alan Watts Organization, Franki has played until lightly roasted by the fire meant to cleanse him.

Queer San Francisco pop music. Earthbound space alien loverboy multi-instrumentalist musician and singer songwriter. Transcendent rock. A multi-dimensional crooner who wages love on a tired dystopia, he uses his soaring vocals, delicately laced wordplay, psychedelic awareness, and compassionate curiosity to create musical landscapes that explore identity, pansexuality, non-monogamy, acceptance, lust, love, and many other universally queer and questioning themes. 

“Here and now, boys. Here and now!”
