# Frank Walker (musician)

Frank Walker is a Canadian electronic musician and DJ. 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.

## Early life

The son of Canadian business executives Donald J. Walker and Belinda Stronach, he was groomed by his family for a career with the family company, Magna International which was founded by his grandfather Frank Stronach. He played a trombone while at a private arts school in King City, Ontario.
As a teenager, he worked various jobs at Magna, including one year in the research and development department and at one of the Ontario plants.
He began to pursue music as a hobby while studying business at Wilfrid Laurier University and cites one party for the university's rugby team as foundational.

## Career

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. 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, 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.
In January 2024, he opened two Toronto dates on Madonna's The Celebration Tour.
