Frank Farian

German music producer (1941–2024)

Frank Farian is remembered in music for work that changed what came after it.

The record lists Frank Farian as German music producer (1941–2024).

Frank Farian was born at Kirn in 1941. His recorded nationality is Germany.

Broadcast radio, the LP and the touring circuit made this the first era in which a musician could reach a mass audience without ever meeting it.

He worked as singer-songwriter, record producer and singer.

The instruments recorded are voice.

His work is classed as pop music, disco and eurodance.

What survives in music is rarely what sold best at the time.

That the work came out of Germany shaped it: musical traditions, training institutions and the reach of a recording industry all differ by country.

Frank Farian died in 2024, aged 83. The recordings and scores remain, which is the only durable form a musical life takes.
