Francis Nguyen Tran a.k.a. FrancisGotHeat, never thought he could make it big. At the age of 13, he made his first beat and discovered he had some sort of talent. Quickly, he started to take producing seriously. Achieving success became the goal. “I’ve seen videos of people making it big and was like ‘oh this is a real career?’ wow.”
His talents caught the ears of rapper/producer Rich Kidd as well as Ricki Bekzadeh, and they led Francis to Toronto’s revered Remix Project, a non-profit organization and platform for young creatives in the city. There he continued to make beats and learned how to collaborate with others.
