About

Starfarer, hails from the vibrant city of Denver, Colorado, where he has become a notable figure in the electronic music scene. Influenced by his background as a guitarist in multiple metal bands, he ventured into the ethereal realms of retro-futuristic music, driven by the visual and auditory allure of 1980s sci-fi masterpieces. Armed with an arsenal of software synths, he sculpted his distinctive musical style.

His debut album, “Starfarer,” dropped in March 2018, marking not just the birth of an artist, but the genesis of a sonic voyage. Since then, Starfarer’s trajectory has soared, captivating audiences with both his studio releases and dynamic live performances. His stage presence is electrifying, blending spacewave, midtempo, and modern electronic elements into an unforgettable experience.

Along his journey, he has had the honor of sharing the stage with esteemed acts such as Com Truise, The Crystal Method, Magic Sword, Sierra, Droid Bishop, and more.

Proudly embracing his redefined musical identity, Starfarer dubs his genre “SCI-FI EDM,” a fusion that elegantly merges cosmic inspirations with contemporary and futuristic electronic vibes.

THE STORY

Starfarer was born among the stars, a true Highrider. One of the few who have never known a true home outside of microgravity. Raised in the dark, Starfarer learned to navigate the dark seas of deep space, fluent in the silent language of orbital mechanics and the unseen currents of cosmic radiation.

Now, a freelance operator, he take on secret contracts that never make it to Earth’s official records, retrieving lost tech from forgotten derelicts, smuggling classified data between corporate warlords, and even making quiet contact with… things the governments of Earth refuse to acknowledge.

Sometimes, Starfarer touches down on Earth but not for long, just enough to play a quick gig in some neon-soaked city, trade stories for credits, and remind themselves what gravity feels like before launching back into the infinite night. Space is home. The void is calling. The next mission is already waiting.
