Ahmad Farhan, born on August 24, 1987 in Malaysia, discovered his passion for music at a young age. Growing up in a musically inclined family, he was exposed to various genres and instruments from a very young age. It was no surprise that he picked up the guitar at the age of 12 and began honing his skills, showing promise and talent beyond his years.
Farhan's journey with Bunkface began in 2006, when he became one of the founding members of the Malaysian punk rock band. He met his bandmates while they were all still in school, and their shared love for music brought them together. Farhan's skills as a guitarist and back-up vocalist quickly made him an integral part of the group, and they decided to try their luck in the Battle of the Bands competition in Malaysia.
After their initial formation, Bunkface quickly rose to fame in the Malaysian music scene. In 2014, they released their third studio album, "Malam Ini Kita Punya," which was met with critical acclaim and commercial success. This led to the band being invited to perform at the prestigious 2015 Summer Sonic Festival in Tokyo, Japan, solidifying their status as one of the leading punk rock bands in Asia.
Farhan has always been inspired by the likes of Patrick Stump from Fall Out Boy, citing him as a major influence on his music and the band's sound. The fusion of punk rock and pop elements in Bunkface's music can be traced back to this influence, showcasing Farhan's ability to blend different genres seamlessly.
Despite his growing fame and success with Bunkface, Farhan remains grounded and true to his roots. He still calls Malaysia his home and credits his family for instilling in him a love for music. His dedication to his craft and his bandmates is evident in everything he does, and his passion for creating music continues to drive him forward.
