Perry Farrell (born Peretz Bernstein; March 29, 1959)[4][5] is an American singer, songwriter, and musician referred to as the "Godfather of Alternative Music".[6][7] Farrell began his career with Psi Com in the early 1980s, before becoming the frontman of the band Jane's Addiction. He became well known for his success with Jane's Addiction; the band quickly became a key act in the '80s Los Angeles music scene, blending punk, metal, and psychedelic rock to create a unique sound. Their daring live performances and experimental approach resonated with disillusioned youth, contributing to the rise of alternative music as a form of rebellion and self-expression.
As part of Jane's Addiction farewell in 1991, Farrell founded Lollapalooza, which has evolved into an annual festival of multiple genres. Farrell is the frontman of Porno for Pyros, who are releasing new music and touring North America throughout 2024.
Farrell has also released a number of solo albums, and also launched a number of other music related projects, including Kind Heaven Orchestra and Heaven After Dark.
