There’s something different about hearing an artist with nothing in the way—no crowd noise, no heavy edits, no distractions. Just real emotion, real sound, and a moment that can’t be repeated.
That’s exactly what FRQNCY is all about.The newest live performance series from FAYNC Magazine is built to spotlight Fayetteville’s creative energy in its rawest form—through intimate, performances made just for FMtv.
One artist. One song. No audience. Just presence.
And honestly… you can feel the difference.
So, What Can You Expect from FRQNCY?
FRQNCY isn’t trying to be loud—it’s trying to be real.
Every session is intentionally minimal so the music, the emotion, and the story lead the moment. Think clean visuals, immersive sound, and performances that feel personal… like the artist is singing straight to you.
Here’s what makes the series special:
Authentic performances that preserve real emotion
Carefully crafted visuals that match the vibe without overpowering it
A real spotlight on Fayetteville artists, episode by episode
This is more than a performance video. It’s a time capsule of the city’s sound.
Setting the Tone: thegrlupstairs
Kicking off the very first FRQNCY session is Fayetteville’s own thegrlupstairs—a multidisciplinary creative whose world blends music, fashion, writing, and conceptual storytelling into deeply reflective experiences.
Her work lives in the honest spaces we don’t always talk about out loud—forgiveness, complicated love, healing, and growth. The kind of themes that make you pause, sit with yourself, and feel something real.
That same energy carries into her FRQNCY performance, setting the emotional tone for everything this series is meant to be: soulful, intentional, and deeply present.

New Music in the Air: Lovers’ Epoch
Alongside her FRQNCY debut, thegrlupstairs recently released her new EP, Lovers' Epoch—a project rooted in vulnerability, reflection, and emotional truth.
With five tracks that move through love, loss, and healing, Lovers’ Epoch feels less like a playlist and more like a journey—one you sit with, grow through, and maybe even see yourself inside.
🎧 Stream Lovers’ Epoch wherever you listen to music.
