Instead of solely focusing on his musical talents Farrad simultaneously concentrated on his academics. Farrad placed his dreams of stardom on the back burner to focus on his academics. A high achieving student, Farrad was a member of the National Honors Society graduating in the top of his class from St. Luke's in New Canaan.

Kings Blues Club stage, paying tribute to some of the greatest legend in soul music, including Stevie Wonder and Aretha Franklin.
