About Me

Emerging from the bustling streets of Vancouver, BC, the enigmatic singer/songwriter FARA channels a raw, transcendent energy that’s nothing short of electrifying. Born in Singapore and steeped in her indigenous Malay heritage, FARA's earliest memories are a rich tapestry of traditional melodies and rhythms, passed down through generations in her musically gifted family. This profound connection to her roots has shaped her unique sound, blending tradition with contemporary flair.

Vancouver's vibrant music scene quickly became FARA's playground. She carved out a name for herself, dropping hooks that are as irresistible as they are memorable. Her debut single, which made waves on a CBC reality show, marked the beginning of a meteoric rise. By 2016, she was sharing the stage with R&B legends like 112 and Ginuwine, cementing her status as a rising star. Two years later, a collaboration with legendary vocal coach Seth Riggs added another feather to her cap. Reflecting on her journey, FARA says, "I create music as a form of therapy, a reflection of my own journey, and a voice for those who find resonance in my words."

une 2019 saw the release of FARA’s debut EP, “About Me,” a six-track masterpiece that delves into the complex psyche of a modern woman. The production is pristine, the creative direction on point, and the standout single, “Hello Goodbye ft. Dkay,” struck a chord with the Vancouver scene. A recent collaboration with Juno and Grammy nominee Jonny Tobin on the bilingual track “BEACHSIDE” has propelled her into the global spotlight, with her latest single “SOUL” gaining traction on Spotify’s editorial playlists in Asia.

FARA's stage presence is magnetic, captivating audiences from Los Angeles to Vancouver. Offstage, she’s making waves with her vocal workshops, earning accolades as a top streamer, and collaborating with Musqueam Indigenous artists at Rogers Arena. Her relentless work ethic and dedication set her apart, driving her to outpace her peers. With a voice that can move mountains and an elegance that captivates, FARA is the complete package. Her artistic journey has also seen her co-directing visually stunning music videos with industry heavyweights like DJ Big Jacks, the official Aritzia DJ, in both Toronto and LA, adding yet another layer to her multifaceted career.

In a world brimming with musical talent, FARA stands out not just for her extraordinary gift of song but for her ability to weave her rich cultural heritage into every note. She’s not just an artist; she’s a phenomenon.
