Francis first rose to fame after gaining the respect of American producer Diplo and eventually collaborating on the song "Que Que". His song "Masta Blasta", originally a 130 BpM house track, was edited after inspiration from Dutch musician Munchi and eventually ended up as the moombahton track that brought him to fame.[2]
He has released works on multiple labels including Dim Mak Records, Mad Decent[3] and OWSLA.[4]
In February 2012, Francis became the first moombahton artist to achieve the number-one spot atop the Beatport Top 5 Releases Chart with the release of his extended play Something, Something, Awesome.[5]
In late 2012, he embarked on his Wet & Reckless tour across North America, as well as supporting the English electronic-music trio Nero on their Welcome Reality tour and English musician Flux Pavilion on his Standing on a Hill tour.[6]
In 2013 he announced a headlining 'Wurld Turr'[7] across the USA and Canada, as well as confirming that his debut album would be released in 2013. He also gained prominence by being announced as one of MTV Clubland's Artists to watch in 2013 [8], alongside acts such as Kill The Noise and Otto Knows.

Brendon Boyd Urie (born April 12, 1987) is an American musician and the lead vocalist, rhythm guitarist, pianist and singer-songwriter of Panic! at the Disco. He also plays drums, bass guitar, accordion, organ, cello, violin, and trumpet.
Urie was born in Summerlin, Nevada. He is the fifth and youngest child to Grace and Boyd Urie. He was raised in a Mormon family. Urie attended Palo Verde High School, where he met future ex-Panic bassist Brent Wilson in his guitar class. Wilson asked Urie to try out for a band he was in, since they needed a replacement guitarist.
In a 2011 interview, Urie described himself as a "spazz in high school". He commented: "There was a kid that used to pick on me…he used to drop my food, and beat me up in little corners," he said. "Nothing serious, but tease me. I remember knocking his food out of his hand one time when he [was] in the middle of explaining something to his friends, and they all laughed, so I thought that was pretty nice. ‘Well, there you go buddy.’ I was able to get instant karma."
Oh how is it we are cursed and reduced to this pandemonium?
Screams of the beings through the ash that I can see.
Now do I beg the question, question the aggression, of the suffering to be?
Why the single spark that made the flame, that set this blaze.
A blaze, a blaze to quell our light and ignite the sky!
The flames that hold us,
Are the same that hold the night.
This was meant to choke the light,
'Cause this is a fire, this is a firefight!
No remorse or regret,
Ravenous contempt for the lives now spent.
Now kiss the blaze and cry,
This is a fire, this is a firefight!
The flames that hold us,
Are the same that hold the night.
This was meant to choke the light,
'Cause this is a fire, this is a firefight!
No remorse or regret,
Ravenous contempt for the lives now spent.
Now kiss the blaze and cry,
This is a fire, this is a firefight!
The plume of black ash so gently caresses the sky,
To the world I knew I say goodbye, there are no more questions now.
The lashes of flickering pain, incandescent luminescent as the brightest day,
I feel my spirit slipping away!
The flames that hold us,
Are the same that hold the night.
This was meant to choke the light,
'Cause this is a fire, this is a firefight!
No remorse or regret,
Ravenous contempt for the lives now spent.
Now kiss the blaze and cry,
This is a fire, this is a firefight!
No mercy shown or debt was owed for what I cannot dream,
The reason for this wrath bestowed by flame beyond the sea.
Tonight I've heard the cry and swear by all I've seen,
That vengeance will one day be mine, satisfaction will I breathe.
Have you seen your who world build from ash... to ashes return!
The flames that hold us,
Are the same that hold the night.
This was meant to choke the light,
'Cause this is a fire, this is a firefight!
No remorse or regret,
Ravenous contempt for the lives now spent.
Now kiss the blaze and cry,
This is a fire, this is a firefight!
The flames that hold us,
Are the same that hold the night.
This was meant to choke the light,
'Cause this is a fire, this is a firefight!
No remorse or regret,
Ravenous contempt for the lives now spent.
Now kiss the blaze and cry,
This is where our diligence has lead
The waves roll in to claim our patient steps
Can we become more than just ourselves?
And leave the sand, I wonder will I doubt
It's firefight, I won't run.
They're spitting spite all through my blood
For you and me, there's nowhere left to hide
Except you and me, there's no one else alive
This is now the moment after next.
All these silver eyes of the temptress
Why open the door if you won't go?
Don't ask twice if you don't wanna know.
It's firefight, I won't run.
They're spitting spite all in my blood
For you and me, there's nowhere left to hide
Except you and me, there's no one else alive
Is there an answer?
If it's an honest one, honestly worth this question
There's no question
The city has no limits
I am who I wanna be, but you could be anything
Just be anything here with me.
Endless quotes and with the secondhand
If you let go then that's where time will stand.
It's firefight, I won't run.
They're spitting spite all through my blood
For you and me, there's nowhere left to hide
Except you and me, there's no one else alive
It's firefight, I won't run.
They're spitting spite all through my blood
For you and me, there's nowhere left to hide
Tonight we watch the burning cars shining bright Was it boredom is not the sky enough
Everything I loved is now leaving me
No photographs can show how it used to be
Wake up the past and tell it to stay away
Bad times are here to stay
Wake up the past and tell it to stay away
Bad times are here to stay
Its just a Firefight - Its just a Firefight
What can you do when everything turns to dust
A sign from god replaced what you forgot
What can you do when everything turns to dust
A sign from god replaced what you forgot
Wake up the past and tell it to stay away
Bad times are here to stay
Wake up the past and tell it to stay away
Bad times are here to stay
