We recently had the chance to connect with Farhod Cigarchi and have shared our conversation below.
Farhod, so good to connect and we’re excited to share your story and insights with our audience. There’s a ton to learn from your story, but let’s start with a warm up before we get into the heart of the interview. What is a normal day like for you right now?
Most of my days start early. I work long 12-hour shifts, so my mornings are all about getting focused and ready for the grind. Once I’m done with work, I head home and shift gears — that’s my time to relax, be with my family, and enjoy dinner together. After that, I dive into what I really love: making music. Whether it’s writing lyrics, building beats, or mixing tracks, those late-night sessions are where I get to express myself and recharge before doing it all over again the next day. If for some reason I get a creative block then I’ll hop on a video game.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
My name is Farhod Cigarchi, and I’m an artist and music creator who balances a full-time career with my passion for making music. I work long 12-hour shifts during the day, but when I’m off, I’m all about family, creativity, and building something meaningful through sound. My music blends real-life experiences with emotion and storytelling — it’s about turning everyday grind and personal moments into something people can feel. What makes my journey unique is that I’m doing it independently, staying true to who I am, and constantly working to grow my craft while juggling real life. Right now, I’m focused on creating new music that reflects that balance — the hustle, the heart, and everything in between.
Thanks for sharing that. Would love to go back in time and hear about how your past might have impacted who you are today. What relationship most shaped how you see yourself?
The relationship that most shaped how I see myself is the one with my family. They’ve always kept me grounded and reminded me what really matters — love, loyalty, and hard work. No matter how busy life gets or how long the workdays are, being around them gives me purpose and balance. They’ve helped me see that success isn’t just about money or recognition; it’s about being present, staying humble, and doing what you love with the people who mean the most.
If you could say one kind thing to your younger self, what would it be?
I’d tell my younger self to trust the process and stay patient. Everything you’re working for takes time, and every struggle is shaping you into who you’re meant to be. Don’t rush to prove yourself — just keep your head down, keep creating, and remember that your passion will open doors when the time is right.
So a lot of these questions go deep, but if you are open to it, we’ve got a few more questions that we’d love to get your take on. Is the public version of you the real you?
Yeah, the public version of me is 100% the real me. What you see is what you get — no filters, no act. I’ve never felt the need to change who I am for attention or approval. I stay true to myself, whether I’m at work, with family, or making music. That’s what keeps everything real.
Okay, so let’s keep going with one more question that means a lot to us: Could you give everything your best, even if no one ever praised you for it?
Absolutely. I’ve learned to do things for the love of it, not for the applause. Whether anyone’s watching or not, I’m still going to give my best. The drive comes from inside — from wanting to grow, create, and make something real. Recognition fades, but the work and the passion behind it are what really last.
