Details:
Farbeon (Fabian Saucedo) is a poet/emcee/educator hailing from El Paso, Texas. He is currently teaching Poetry, Performance, & Hip-Hop Activism at New Design High School and Facing History School. As well, as the Director of Education and Outreach for the Bowery Poetry Club (https://www.tradebit.com), he develops programming to bridge the gap between education and the arts, specifically poetry and literacy.
Musically, Farbeon reps both Say Word Entertainment (NYC) and the Blow Up Co-Op (AZ). In 2002, Farbeon worked with veteran hip-hop producer Foundation (AZ) to indpendently release Collective Memory. Shortly there after, he moved to the commercially-saturated scene of New York City and was quick to find out that he had taken for granted the cooperative vibe of the Southwest.
In the fall of 2003 he co-founded Say Word Entertainment, a collective of socially-conscious and like-minded artists, musicians, and promoters, who want to bring genuine hip-hop culture, community, and activism back to NYC. In early 2005, as a member of 3rd Party (Hired Gun, Rabbi Darkside, DJ Watts and AndI) he released, Pressed for Time, an album which recieved "****" in the September, ''05 issue of Urb Magazine (and which can also be purchased on CD Baby).
He has rocked well over 100 shows from the East Coast to the West Coast, and has shared the stage with some of the most repected acts in hip-hop music: The Last Poets, Rob Swift & the Executioners, Wordsworth, Fatlip from the Pharcyde, 2 Mex, and Emanon to name a few.
