biographical info
Born and raised in Montreal, second child to Judit
and Ivan, and just like them, Richy Farkas always had the soul of an
artist. His musical talent became evident very early on with his first
guitar, given to him on his 12th b-day by his grandmother. His passion
along with a strong ear for music made him the singer and songwriter he
is today.
His childhood in the
West Island is summarized by a rollercoaster of memories which awakens
a singer-songwriter like no other. After a taste of biochemistry at
Concordia University, the artist within guides him towards photography.
It is only a few years later that he decides to follow his passion for
music and devotes all of his energies into it.
Guitar strings under
his fingers, Richy recreates events and circumstances of his life
through music. With original compositions, he shares his life, emotions
and ideologies while presenting stories of love, loss, desire and joy
in a universal language.
His experiences have
consolidated his own style, an amalgamation of folk, funk, soul and
rock. His proximity with the crowd is felt by all during every show.
