Biography

Farhan is the superstar you’ve most likely never heard of. And now, Farhan has written and recorded his debut album. Echoes is the album of his life, a set of classic-sounding, self-written songs that reflect a childhood steeped in the greats of both Indian music, Kishore Kumar, musician Ravi Shankar and of western rock and pop: The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Eric Clapton, David Bowie. Recorded in Milan, the rich, melodic album was produced by Grammy-winning producer Tommaso Colliva (Franz Ferdinand, Jesus and Mary Chain, Muse). Farhan has made music before now – not least playing the part of the frontman of a rock band in the critically acclaimed film Rock On!! (2008) – but he’s been keen to record his own album for a long time. Farhan explains: “I just felt I needed some time out for myself, to reconnect with other things, to look at where my life’s at. I wanted to channel what I was feeling, and put it out there, just to share with people. And I found that process very cathartic.” Speaking of the album... “Echoes. It’s about chapters in my life and voices in my head that have influenced the writing. All of us have our personal journeys through life, through love. We struggle at times to make sense of our emotions and of the world around us. So here I am, speaking as honestly as I can about my journey.” - Farhan Echoes released worldwide on April 12th 2019.
