Hey! I’m Norah, I’m 18 and I’m a painter/ drawer specialising in portraiture and human figure art. My inspirations come from Baroque artists like Caravaggio and Reubens, and I love to use oil paints to replicate the human form in a realistic style. I learned how to paint from YouTube and I try to improve all the time with every painting I produce. It’s my dream to one day make a living from selling my art, and it’s events like the parties Farrago organise which help to showcase emerging artists like me! I’m so grateful for this opportunity to paint for you all and I can’t wait to meet you at the next house party! <3

I’m a passionate singer-songwriter based in London, with an ability to blend acoustic and rock influences - I have been told that I have distinctive "raw" vocals that play well to this style. I have been developing a catalogue of songs over the years and as an ambitious musician, I am striving to grow as an artist with bigger production and performance experiences.

Listeners have compared my style to the likes of Eddie Vedder, Dave Grohl, and Rob Thomas from Matchbox Twenty. I have had the opportunity to perform on BBC Introducing stages at festivals in the South West and have even enjoyed the surprise of being played on national Polish radio.

With a music degree and years of experience playing in local scenes across Pakistan, Plymouth, Manchester, and Birmingham, I am now exploring the vibrant music scene in London where I have been playing for exciting crowds across the city!

As a producer, rapper, and filmmaker, my music is very immersive and story driven. It pulls the listener into an entirely different world with each song, through a colourful use of sound design and hard-hitting yet comedic lyrical storytelling. I take pride in an original sound that I can call my own.
