Essex born Katie Farrow has burst on the scene the past couple of years with residencies at various venues across the UK supporting the likes of Horse Meat Disco, Jeremy Underground, Project Pablo, Moxie, Krystal Klear, Shanti Celeste and many more.
Faro grew up on her Dad’s collection of R&B and Soul, and started getting into electronic music in her early teens. Soulful sounds continue to always be the key ingredient in her musical selection, ranging from Chicago/Detroit House to dusty Disco cuts to tutti-fruiti cosmic groovers. She claims her inspiration comes from the likes of Kerri Chandler, Byron The Aquarius, Move D, Jayda G, Javonntte, Spinna, Tama Sumo and many more.
Katie is often praised for her selection, diversity, and the way she works her audience. You can find her in the basement of a steamy crowded club playing hands-in-the-air jams, to a hotel lobby smoothing it down, to being the soundtrack of people’s evening by the beach whilst they sip their mojitos and dance as the sun sets.
Faro's DJ career began in Brighton in 2015, however she has just taken the leap to London where she'll be regularly holding her own night 'Freshly Squeezed' with DJ Eliza Rose - focusing on the fun, funky and soulful side of House, Disco and Garage. The launch falls on 27th Oct at NT's bar in Hackney where they'll be joined by London duo Childsplay, Dimensions own Binks and a very secret guest headliner.
As well as this, over the last couple of months Faro has played at the following;
Queen of Hoxton, London with Rhythm Sister,
Yellow Arches, Sheffield supporting Chaos in the CBD,
The Arch, Brighton supporting Dimitri From Paris,
Patterns, Brighton supporting Ceephax Acid Crew
Ace Hotel, London supporting Natasha Kitty Kat.
Faro has featured on various radio shows and podcasts and plays regularly on Balamii Radio every 3rd Thurs 11-1. You can find all her shows and guest mixes on her soundcloud page.
Exciting things are to come for Faro, including original productions very soon. Keep your eyes peeled!
