Who is 25Frank?

25Frank is Ian (my name is not actually Frank, unfortunately.)

Born in Annapolis, Maryland and currently residing in New York City, I breathe new music and pickles like air and I don’t plan to let you hear the end of it.

I love the sound of the 2 glasses clinking together at the exact right place where the sound rings on and on in that weird way for a few seconds. I also watch lots of tennis and eat lots and lots of noodles.

I’m happy you’re here and hope you love all the content: tunes, tennis, and fermentations alike.

Until soon,

♡25F

TO BE FRANK…

…is a collection of critiques, interviews, rants, raves, and reviews of both emerging musical experimentalists and seasoned veterans launched in the Summer of 2025 with the occasional blurb of things I’m munching on and Tennis matches that have me seated.

TO BE FRANK is free for now…read up and enjoy.

Maybe one day I’ll have a trillion-billion people reading and you can pay me to work because…well…that’s always ideal. Until then, enjoy, tell your friends to tell their friends to read.
