BIOGRAPHY
SAMIA FARAH is a French Tunisian singer/ song-writer, producer and designer who grew up in France.
Her Father, a slightly eccentric human being introduced her to music, movies and art.
In 1999 Samia released an album for Sony France where she sings, plays Melodica and co-composed the whole album with Giovanny Delahunda( Aka Giovanny Adrien) a talented producer and composer.
She was in this time very fond of jazz and wanted to work with jazz musicians,
Andre Ceccarelli and Laurent de wilde are featured on this first highly acclaimed recording.
She also invited the UK mixer and producer Adrian Sherwood to mix a few tracks.
Sony France didn't renew her contract and no other French label or distributor wanted to sign her or even to work with her.
This was something of a setback for Samia Farah as she sings primarily in French so,
regardless she decided then to produce and finance a second album herself.
in the interim period Samia worked with musicians from many different backgrounds
such as Richard Dorfmeister(Austria) "Heidi Bruhel", Adrian Sherwood(U.K.) on his album "Becoming a Cliche" with her song "J'ai Change"... ( she also designed the record sleeve for this album.)
Samia has also done a duet with Lee Perry(Jamaica) "yellow tongue"
on his new album "The mighty Upsetter".(a remix by Kode 9 has also been done of this song)
Samia also makes vocal contributions on three tracks on the debut dub album by Indie "supergroup" Mongrel(U.K.)
and Brasilian sound system Moa Ambessa.
She has also recently done a track for Dj center (Brooklyn U.S.)"Tout passe".with a remix by dj Wajeed
Samias second album "The Many Moods Of..." has just been released (2009),it features 16 new tracks ... The sleeve for the album was made with collage references to Sophie Tauber-Arp. Samia studied Digital Media and design at the London College of art . She now lives in London ,and is preparing an Arabic dub album produced and composed by herself .
