Francis Bach Hoang Nguyen-Tran (born 1996), known professionally as FrancisGotHeat, is a Canadian record producer and songwriter. He is best known for his production with several well-known artists, most notably Drake, Bryson Tiller, and Big Sean.[1]

Early life and career

Francis was born in Toronto in 1996, where he was also raised by Vietnamese Catholic parents. He was brought up in a musical household and has five siblings.[2]

Francis has been described as a child prodigy, due to his musical background. His work has been featured in publications such as Vice,[3] CBC News,[4] and Exclaim!,[5] among others.
