Fara Palmer is an Aboriginal woman of Cree/Saulteaux descent. As a child it was her dream to sing, and sing she did. An early musical highlight was when, at the age of 12, she sang at an outdoor concert with headliner Buffy Ste. Marie. Fara has often been dubbed a pop/R&B diva with a musical sound similar to that of Whitney Houston and Celine Dion. Her first two albums entitled "This Is My World" and "Prettybrown" were nominated for Canadian Juno Awards, as well as for Canadian Aboriginal Music Awards. Both albums won in categories of "Best Song Of The Year" and "Female Artist Of The Year".

Fara has been blessed to share her music with audiences across Canada and the United States and has shared the stage with artists and friends such as: Susan Aglukark, Willie Dunn, Buffy Ste. Marie, Shania Twain, Sarah McLoughlin, Jann Arden, Ray Charles, Chantal Krevuisit and many other talented musicians and performers. In 2000/01 she co-hosted the Canadian Aboriginal Music Awards with Derek Miller, promoted and toured her second album "Prettybrown", and learned she was pregnant with her first child.

Upon learning she was about to become a mother, Fara took some time off of her career to raise a family. Time off turned into a six year break from music, four daughters, a husband of ten years, and a whole lot of Fara music lovers wondering if she had quit singing professionally.

It is now 2007 and Fara has resurfaced with a new album entitled "Phoenix". The sound is Pop Eclectica, a term she created to describe music that is based in Pop but branches into soul, folk, R&B, rock, and dance. She dedicates this new album to her brother Gabriel, who was murdered in 2002. Fara chose to call the album Phoenix because of the symbolic nature of the Phoenix bird. When a Phoenix dies, it is engulfed in flames and is reborn through its ashes. Fara relates the grieving, recovering, and healing process that she and her family went through to the life cycle of the Phoenix. In a way, her family has risen from the ashes of the loss of their beloved Gabriel, and been reborn.

"Phoenix" is a 12 track album full of humour, hope, raw emotion, and Fara's specialty …HEART. In this her third release, Fara's love of music and her love for the people shines through in each and every one of her songs. Fara Palmer is back, has a new sound, is guiding her own destiny, and is once again ready to share her gift with the people. STAY TUNED……
