Frankenstein is the stage name of Frank Fallico, a former Canadian rapper and record producer.[1] He is most noted as a two-time Juno Award nominee for Rap Recording of the Year, receiving nods at the Juno Awards of 1998 for his single "The Rain Is Gone"[2] and at the Juno Awards of 1999 for his album Frankenstein UV.[3]
Forming his own independent Knowledge of Self label in the mid-1990s,[1] he released a number of singles, including "Frankenstein's Pain", "What Does It All Mean" and "The Rain Is Gone", before releasing UV in 1997.[4]
Fallico also produced material for other artists, including "Situation 9" on Choclair's album Ice Cold, "When I Rhyme" on Maestro Fresh Wes's album Ever Since,[5] and a remix of Lord Tariq and Peter Gunz's "Deja Vu (Uptown Baby)".[1] Under the stage name Frankie Ano, he also collaborated with Bahamadia on the song "Droppin' Gems" for the Drop the Beat television soundtrack.[6]
With Day, Choclair's business partner in Knee Deep Entertainment, he was also co-host of an internet radio show devoted to Canadian hip hop.[1]
He has since left the music business, and is currently a real estate agent in the Greater Toronto Area.
Much of his recorded material was reissued by Ill Adrenaline Records in 2014 as the compilation album The Science of Sound.[7]
