About Me

My name is Farja. 

(Pronounced f ah r - y ah and derived from the word “ferry” in Swedish and “caravan” in Bengali/Indian/Parsi origin). 

I'm a solo traveling artist, musician, and multi-instrumentalist who paints performs, and roams the planet for life. I've lived in over 7 countries around the world - Bangladesh, Thailand, UK, Australia, Sweden, Poland, and Spain. 

My journey in art and music is an expression of momentum and passion I pick up from all my travels and adventures, intuition and life vibes, nature and the universe with a touch of imagination and psychedelia. 

I compose music, write lyrics, and perform. I have performed with a number of underground bands and musical groups ever since the beginning of my journey.
