Farao combines smooth 90's R&B with sensual 80s disco, ambient spiritual jazz and layers of lush zithers to create her own sonic fantasy; Think Janet Jackson meets Alice Coltrane. Farao is the musical alias of Norwegian producer Kari Jahnsen, whose sound combines her vintage synthesizer collection and sultry vocal harmonies.
Jahnsen is an award winning artist; Her debut album ‘Till It’s All Forgotten’ secured a nomination for 'Best Composer' at the Norwegian Grammy Awards (Spellemannprisen). Her dreamy disco duo, Ultraflex, won 'Best Electronic Album' at the Icelandic Music Awards, along with two additional nominations. She joined forces with the acclaimed mixing engineer Andrew Scheps (Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, Adele) for both of her solo albums.
Jahnsen’s compositions have resonated on a global scale, drawing effusive praise from top publications such as Pitchfork, NPR, The New York Times, Line Of Best Fit, and Clash Magazine. Farao has played some of the most renowned venues and festivals worldwide, including Roskilde Festival, SXSW, Øya Festival, and Green Man Festival, captivating audiences across Europe and the USA.
