  • Bio

    Farideh (pronounced fair-a-day) is a fierce and sassy powerhouse from the Saskatchewan prairies. Her music is part “howl at the moon”vocals, part Motown rhythm and part finger-pickin guitar. Similar to Jann Arden’s heartbreaking songs, interrupted by a wicked sense of humour, Farideh is known for her hilarious and sometimes raunchy storytelling. You might hear stories about her grandmother’s sex life, being mistaken for a prostitute in Australia, or more serious issues such as domestic abuse. Farideh released her first album, “Seasons of Loving,” in 2003, which received national rotation on public and private radio. Her musical travels have taken her across Canada, performing at a variety of venues and festivals, as well as several exotic locales including the Australian outback and the National Theatre of Uganda. Her second album “Symphony of Chemistry” was recorded at her fathers’ home studio in the small Saskatchewan village of Ruddell. The album was completed in typical prairie DIY mentality; at one point using a car battery and vintage surge protector as a power source! Farideh was recently featured on the CBC Radio 2 series “Next! Canada’s Music Future” that showcased artists on the verge of becoming national names. Her song “Caterpillar” was a Finalist in the 2009 New-Song Mountain Stage Songwriting contest. In February 2010, Farideh undertook her first international tour to New Zealand and continues to tour Canada extensively. Farideh has met with amazing reviews from diverse audiences, proving no matter who, what or where she’s performing, Farideh will always entertain.
