Golty Farabeau is a reggae musician born in the Seychelles in the Indian Ocean.

During this time he played at festivals in both the Middle East and Europe, as well as the French Caribbean.
As well as composing and playing his own music, Golty performs traditional sega music from the Seychelles, seggae music – a fusion of sega and reggae and covers music by reggae luminaries such as Bob Marley and Peter Tosh, who have had a great influence on his own work.
