A native of California, Amir will be represented by Marianne LaCrosse, Founder and CEO of Suòno Artist Management.

Farsi says, "I'm so excited to be on the Suòno Artist Management roster alongside its brilliant artists. I had met Marianne just a few times before joining, but every interaction felt so comfortable and familial that I knew we were the right fit-I cannot wait to see what we create together!"

Other projects have included composers Julia Wolfe, Luca Francesconi, Reena Esmail, Kaija Saariaho, Robert Honstein, visual-artist Kevork Mourad, and multidisciplinary duo The Afield. Future collaborations include premiering a work by violinist and composer Michi Wiancko, performing with flutist Claire Chase, and upcoming projects with cellist Mike Block, tabla-player Sandeep Das, and multidisciplinary ensemble Running AMOC.
