In August 2006 Fran released his first single 'Jetsetter' under the guise of 'Inner City Playboys' on Skint Records (aka Fat Boy Slim Norman Cook's label) which was a massive summer anthem. 'Reality Check' his autobiography was also published in 2006 which documented his life so far, going from a young streetwise party loving Irishman to his more public appearances on national reality TV shows and his first years in London where he bagged key positions at Paul Oakenfold's superclub 'Home'.
