Windy Barnes Farrell

Founder & CEO, Windy City Entertainment Inc.

Founder & Executive Producer, San Pedro Music Festival

Windy Barnes Farrell is a dynamic leader and passionate advocate for community representation in the arts. As the founder and CEO of Windy City Entertainment Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, she has dedicated herself to fostering creativity and inclusivity in the local music scene. In 2019, she launched the San Pedro Music Festival in response to a noticeable lack of diverse talent in her community. The festival has rapidly gained traction, receiving strong support from community leaders and elected officials, and has become a significant platform for showcasing underrepresented artists.

With over 25 years of experience as a professional singer, songwriter, and director, Windy has toured internationally with renowned artists like Stevie Wonder, Julio Iglesias, and Michael Bolton. She has headlined performances in diverse locations, including Senegal, Brazil, Cuba, and extensively throughout China. These experiences have provided her with invaluable insights and skills that she now uses to uplift others.

In addition to her work in music, Windy is the founder of the Heal My Family program, which focuses on providing support to families in Los Angeles affected by serious health challenges. The annual San Pedro Music Festival serves as a critical fundraising vehicle for workshops, webinars, concerts, and more, reinforcing her commitment to giving back to the community.

As a mother of two wonderful daughters and the wife of Robert Farrell, a retired Los Angeles City Councilman, Windy resides in San Pedro, California. She is driven by her passion for helping others shine and finds fulfillment in creating opportunities for growth and connection. “Every time I help someone find their spark, I know I’m blessed. That’s a true win-win!”
