Pharo Starr is an American recording artist, dancer, writer, music producer, and music engineer with his indie label Cool House Entertainment. He is a force to be reckoned with. There are many talents out there but you will rarely find an artist with so much well roundedness combined with such an insight to know how to deliver it. From his midwest styled emceeing to his R&B like dance moves. He is a perfectionist. A poet. An artist. An artist with a hunger to be the best and show the world his story.
