Vincent James Turner (born 9 October 1985), better known by his stage name Frankmusik (and between 2011 and 2012, by the name Vincent Did It), is an English synthpop musician. The name "Frank" is derived from the Christian name of his grandfather, whose name he took in tribute.
Vincent was born on 9 October 1985 in the Thornton Heath district of the London Borough of Croydon. He attended Christ's Hospital boarding school in West Sussex and was member of the house 'Maine A'. He entertained his housemates with constant piano playing. He completed a year-long foundation course at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design and went on to study at the London College of Fashion, dropping out to concentrate on music.
During 2004, Vincent performed as a beatboxer, under the name Mr Mouth.
Vincent released his debut EP, Frankisum, in 2007. Former school friend and then assistant of A&R at Island Records, Ben Scarr, introduced Island colleague Louis Bloom to Frankmusik's MySpace page, which was getting a significant number of hits at the time. Although already known for high energy electro and happy hardcore, Frankmusik's signing to Island was in part because Bloom recognised a pop star performer beneath the electronic music, telling HitQuarters: "Underneath all the madness there was some great hooks and melodies, and buried even deeper was a voice; it took a lot of time after signing for him to have the confidence to sing without putting loads of effects over his vocal."

Faithful love abandoned
Search for land we're stranded
Storms are slowly moving in
Feel the sun is setting
No point in regretting
We might make it on our own
Cos' we used to know our way back home
We had a lighthouse
But will we know which way to turn
With all the lights out
I said whos gonna captain us
I said whos gonna captain us
I said whos gonna navigate
Through this hurricane
Sweeping over our fate
You said you'd keep an eye on those rocks
I said I'd keep an eye on those rocks
We said we'd keep an eye on them
But we've broken up again
Think we need a captain
I thought we had it figured
Holding onto triggers
Stand off pointing at our heads
You held your ground forever
But you lost me not so clever
You can drown alone I guess
Cos' we used to know our way back home
We had a lighthouse
But will we know which way to turn
With all the lights out
I said whos gonna captain us
I said whos gonna captain us
I said whos gonna navigate
Through this hurricane
Sweeping over our fate
You said you'd keep an eye on those rocks
I said I'd keep an eye on those rocks
We said we'd keep an eye on them
But we've broken up again
Think we need a captain
I see you sinking over everything we say and do
Sos'in you're confessin' it ain't helpin
Now we falter in the water I reach out to you
Currents come I don't see you swimming
I said whos gonna captain us
I said whos gonna captain us
I said whos gonna navigate
Through this hurricane
Sweeping over our fate
I said whos gonna navigate us
Whos gonna navigate us
I said whos gonna navigate
Through this hurricane
Sweeping over our fate
Now we're breaking up again
Now we're breaking up again
