between the now demised Poet Leila Dois and his
wife, Ellis, in that his work constantly develops
this concept of desire and need, as it is no secret

Franz admitted that, "many times my art is pure
freestyle and arrives from an unknown place. I see
myself as just a tuned instrument, attuned to
frequency where all I am trying to do is breakout
and sing my own freedom song." The Monk
