Ibo Fyah - Exclusive Interview

As a youngster growing up in the
community of Crofts Hill, Clarendon Jamaica, Livian Farquharson was best known for entertaining the local residents with his energetic character and natural love for singing.
He was inspired by great singers growing up such as Sizzla Kalonji, Garnet Silk, Dennis Brown, Bob Marley and Beres Hammond. At age 8, Farquharson would sing his favorite Beres Hammond songs to numerous requests by people of his community on his way home after school in the evenings. This collective encouragement initially impelled him to start to compose his own lyrics 
and melodies.

He continued to climb closer to his musical calling when at age 13 years, he made his first stage appearance to great accolades from the people of his community after which his passion deepened to become a top stage performer. “From I test the stage the first time it just give me strength to build songs and do the 
work”. He later migrated to Kingston where he recorded and compiled a 13 track demo and through his distribution process he met and formed a business relationship with his current manager, Paul Mullings, who recorded the leading track for his debut EP.
