Indigenous Artist Spotlight

Richard Farrow

This 37 year old grew up in the Northern part of Manitoba - (Brochet-Lynn Lake). This is where he learned to play a simple chord and that chord sparked into an inextinguishable fire for his love of music at the age of 15.

He then moved to Thompson, MB in 2007 where he worked for 11 years Playing in local bars, socials and weddings across the province on his free time. Throughout his childhood and adult life he has always been around the music scene learning to sing and play.

In June of 2017, he made his way out to Maple Ridge, B.C. to meet producer Tom Mckillip and Richard quickly found himself in the studio. Richard is currently working in an underground mine in Bissett, Manitoba and juggles music and work, looking forward to doing more recording in the near future.
