BARAHARI

Los Angeles, CA, USA

Bara Hari is the solo project of multidisciplinary artist Sam Franco.  Blurring the lines between myth and trauma, fantasy and reality, Franco builds a shadowy space from which to explore pain, beauty, and drama as Bara Hari. Often handcrafting elaborate costumes and set pieces to accompany her music, Franco is a world builder in a sense that extends to every darkly ethereal detail of her work. Whether crafting period-appropriate gowns, plunging into the mind of a character, or designing moody showpieces for live performances, Franco’s uncompromising approach to her work offers listeners a fully immersive experience. Franco writes, records, and produces herself out of her studio in Los Angeles. Franco's take on dark pop weaves raw vulnerability into tight, driving productions in a style akin to Florence + the Machine, iamamiwhoami, Marina, and Garbage.
