Expressing feelings of burn-out and disillusionment, coupled with a fiery blast at his label and Paramore singer Hayley Williams, saw Farro spent five years in the musical wilderness.

But now he is back in the game and as he tells The Tennessean, he simply answered a calling which was impossible to ignore. "Once I left Paramore, I swore to myself I wouldn't start another band or join another one," says Farro. "I was like, 'I'm done.' I was just so tired."

Fully rejuvenated, refreshed and hungry again, Farro is back with his first solo album, 'Walkways' which he has released under the name FARRO. Now a singer/songwriter as well as a guitarist, Farro is happy again.

"I was talking to a friend of mine who said, 'Eventually, at some point, you're just going to have to sing yourself.' I was like, 'No, I'm not a singer. I don't see myself doing that.' ... Time went on, and I said, 'All right, maybe I should give it a shot,'" he explains.
