About The Author
Gabriel Farago’s life represents the American Dream. Considered to be the most (radio) played “non-North-American-born” country artist prior to Keith Urban, Farago came to the United States as a five-year-old Hungarian war refugee. Hooking up with Nashville legend Harold Bradley in 1978, Farago saw several of his records hit Billboard’s charts during the 80’s. His trademark, high-energy shows made him a concert-favorite, influencing the rock-type, country acts of today. Expanding into artist development and record production in the early 90’s, Farago has continued to help singers and songwriters through his nationally-recognized CareerLauncher Program. He has hosted his own radio show and appeared on TV. Farago recently acquired two record labels that have featured and helped launch several country superstars. His future plans include developing new, contemporary Christian artists as well.
