Mini Bio
Kurt Farquhar is a Los Angeles based–television and film composer, songwriter, producer, and founder/CEO of True Music, a prominent music licensing company. He has scored more primetime television series than any other African-American composer throughout his 30-year career. In early 2018 Farquhar entered the superhero genre with the launch of The CW’s Black Lightning and in the same year became apart of the No. 1 new comedy on CBS, The Neighborhood.
Kurt is a seven-time BMI award winner. Four wins for his work on The King of Queens, two for Being Mary Jane, and one for The Game. Farquhar was called ‘the musical voice of BET’ for his work on genre-defining series on the network for shows like American Soul, Games People Play, The Quad, Being Mary Jane, Real Husbands of Hollywood, and In Contempt.
Farquhar has created theme songs and scores for a multitude of feature films and television shows including Girlfriends, Sister, Sister, Moesha, Soul Food, In The House, Not Easily Broken, Stitchers, and Ned and Stacey – often writing on multiple series simultaneously. Kurt credits his incredible productivity to the fact that ever since he was a child, “I hear music all the time.” Once he learned about music theory, orchestration, and writing it was “a relief, as I learned how to write everything down.”
