Farell’s musical training includes jazz vocal improvisation with pianist and composer Richard Beirach, private voice studies with Cynthia Hoffmanand Larry Chelsi in New York, at which time he was enrolled at The City College of New York in Vocal Jazz studies under the instruction of master jazz Vocalist Sheila Jordan.

This included return engagements at both “Sweet Basil” and “Greene Street” during which time he was an artist and member of Cobi Narita’s “Universal Jazz Coalition”.
As a featured soloist, as well as an ensemble singer, Farell has performed at Lincoln Center, The Museum of Modern Art, Brooklyn Academy of Music, WBAI Radio, The Kitchen, and Symphony Space, to name a few. Farell has worked with jazz masters such as late saxophonist Dexter Gordon, pianists Barry Harris, Albert Dailey, and Kenny Barron; bassists such as the late Herman Wright, Ratzo Harris, and Rufus Reid.
