CHASING THE DREAM

 

Sometimes we get tired, sometimes REALLY tired…but Fireflys don’t quit, we rest and get back at it!! 💪🏽 #DontQuit -Farah Mitha

 

Born and raised in Ottawa, Canada, and now residing in Hollywood California Farah Mitha the multi-talented artist originally intended to become a doctor and earned her Master’s Degree in Physical Therapy. Abruptly deciding not to follow the medical route, she instead chose to follow her dreams and passions of using music and art to bring light and positivity into a sometimes very dark world.

She participated eagerly in her school and community choirs and developed a real love for all kinds of music. She had a rebellious creative streak within her that sparked her fantasizing about blending genres, themes and melodic structures that didn’t traditionally belong together. She found that her cathartic release came from emulating and belting the sounds of everything from Mariah Carey, Alicia Keys, Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson to Guns and Roses and Alanis Morissette.

 

She dreamed of being on stage the way her favorite artists were but it never seemed that it could be possible for someone of her cultural background.

It was only after she finished university and decided to move to Toronto on her own that she gathered the courage to try for a career in music. And thus began her journey of working with several talented artists, performing across the world on huge stages, and starting her own brand called “Firefly World”.
