Artist History Born in DeLand, Florida in 1994 by founding member Eric Seven, RFA has grown from a small side project to a full-fledged musical force in the Desert Southwestern United States. Seven recorded the first music under the moniker "RFA" in 1993 with the synthpop compilation "Top of the World." Since those first humble beginnings, RFA's music has continued to grow and evolve. The acclaimed CD "killjulie," released in 1998, was the culmination of over 2 years of work. Since that time, RFA has grown as its fanbase has grown, winning "Best Industrial Band" two years in a row at the Phoenix New Times Music Festival.
