Mini bio
How it started.
Before fans knew her as FARIANA, Farina Pao Paucar Franco was a child in Medellín dancing to merengue house. She remembers rehearsing Proyecto Uno songs with a childhood dance group. Her public breakthrough came on Colombia’s Factor X in 2005, where she finished third.
Finding her sound.
Her 2006 debut, Yo Soy Farina, leaned into dancehall. She went on to become a pioneering woman in Colombian reggaeton and signed with Roc Nation in 2017. Collaborations have taken her from Arcángel on the joint EP FloWres to Sean Paul on “El Vibe.”
A new chapter.
She adopted the name FARIANA in 2024, alongside the Oro Sólido collaboration “El Caballito.” UNDERWATER followed that September. For Música para Bailar in 2025, she returned to the merengue sounds she loved as a child, keeping singing and rapping part of the same musical world.
