Megan learned her first guitar chords from a friend while sitting on her porch steps in Faraday Street in Napier, New Zealand. The first song Franich learned was "My Girl" by Kristin Hersh. Megan studied at the Victoria University of Wellington. She began her career in the entertainment industry as a sound technician. Franich made her film debut with two uncredited small parts in "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe."
