Farao

Farao is the brainchild of Norwegian artist Kari Jahnsen, a multi-instrumentalist and producer known for her lush, genre-blurring indie pop. Born in a small town in Norway, she later split her time between Oslo and Berlin, crafting music that weaves together sharp electronic beats, swirling synths, and introspective lyrics. Since her 2015 debut *Till It’s All Forgotten*, she’s carved out a space for hypnotic, boundary-pushing tracks like *Pure-O* and *Bodies*, balancing raw emotional candor with icy, avant-garde textures. Her work—praised by outlets like The Line of Best Fit—often feels like a conversation between intimacy and experimentation, whether she’s delivering dreamy bops (*Dreamy Ride*) or haunting remixes (*The Hours*). Live, she’s a one-woman powerhouse, looping vocals and instruments into dizzying crescendos that leave crowds equally mesmerized and energized.
