Early life and career
Farmer began playing the bass at six years of age with his family’s Chicago, Illinois band, The Amazing Farmer Singers, a gospel quartet. However, he did not become interested in pursuing it professionally until high school, when he realized he could make a living at it.
Farmer credits his upbringing in Chicago for expanding his horizons past gospel and exposing him to rock, jazz and blues. He moved to Los Angeles in 1998, and credits gospel bass performer Andrew Gouche for mentoring him when and helping him to appear on BET’s Planet Groove, playing with Jody Watley (which would be his first national appearance). Since then, he’s played with Christina Aguilera and Macy Gray among others as a session musician, in addition to releasing his own solo albums and touring with groups and musical artists. He was also featured on MTV’s Rock the Cradle as a member of its house band. Other notable acts Farmer’s worked with include Babyface, Destiny’s Child, Janet Jackson, Justin Timberlake, Lionel Richie, Nicole Scherzinger, Patti LaBelle as well as the jazz band The Avengers, among others.. In addition, he’s given masterclasses at the 2015 London Bass Guitar Show.
Farmer has endorsements from Aguilar Amplification, Carvin Bass Guitars, Dunlop Strings, Levy’s Leathers, Performance Bass Guitars and Warrior Bass. Bass Mods also sells two bass guitars endorsed by Farmer, the Ethan Farmer Signature Model EF4 and EF5.
