Franky Wah was born Luke Storrs to a farming family in Doncaster, a city in South Yorkshire, England. He came from a long line of farmers and assumed he'd continue the tradition. His entré to dance music happened at 11 when he heard Paffendorf's 2001 trance classic Be Cool. Transfixed by the otherworldly sound, he sought to uncover its sonic mysteries and counted its bars to analyze the track. The experience planted a seed for the little farm lad to grow into a powerhouse producer. It just took a little time to be watered. But by the time he started DJing at 23, it started growing quickly.
