Farideh didn’t set out to be a comedian—it just sort of happened. After almost 20 years as a recording artist and touring musician, racking up awards and playing to adoring audiences, she thought she’d left music behind. Turns out, she was wrong. Now, Farideh is making women everywhere laugh, cry, and occasionally yell, “I feel so seen!” with her comedic songs that tackle everything from weaponized incompetence to forgotten breast exams.

With touring 100+ days (with her then band Rosie & the Riveters) no longer working for her family, Farideh started experimenting with creating online content. She soon discovered a knack for comedic songs, blending her musical talents with humor to create viral hits. Somewhere between making ridiculous faces on TikTok and discovering her knack for writing comedy songs (or is it music comedy? Musical comedy? Still unclear!), she realized she was onto something. Her viral hit “You Are Such a Good Dad” was a lightbulb moment: Farideh could combine her songwriting chops with her razor-sharp wit—and suddenly, women around the world couldn’t get enough.

Her work is relatable, silly, and lighthearted, often tackling heavy topics without a trace of resentment. Farideh’s songs have become anthems for moms, book girlies, skincare enthusiasts , and everyone in between—whether it’s celebrating our sexual past with “Used to Be a Ho” or demystifying breast exams with “Check Your Titties” (yes, people have actually found cancer early thanks to that song). Therapists even bring her songs into sessions to help women talk about what’s making them angry or to help couples laugh their way to understanding each other.

Musically, Farideh is a genre-hopper. Pop, techno, folk, R&B—you name it, she’s played in that sandbox. With longtime friend and co-producer Jordan Perry (they’ve been friends since 13), she’s created a musical playground full of catchy melodies, clever rhymes, and all the musical jokes she couldn’t get away with during her “cool musician” phase. Now, she’s free to be ridiculous, stupid, and funny—and she’s loving it.

Farideh’s songs are often compared to Bo Burnham for their humor and almost painfully honest messages or Lonely Island for their pop absurdity. She likes to think her work is uniquely her own (her name literally means “unique”), but she’s fine with those comparisons. She lives and breath the cold Canadian ahri in Saskatchewan, Canada—aka the middle of nowhere—but she stays close to her mom, so she’s not leaving anytime soon.

Right now, Farideh is gearing up to release a steady stream of singles in 2025 (every two weeks is the plan, but family comes first, so don’t hold her to it). With each song, she’s building her online fan base, creating viral moments, and proving that the best time to launch an pop career is definitely in your 40s.
