Farley Flex was born August 9, 19?? and is a Canadian music promoter and manager of hip-hop artists, who is best known for being a judge on the reality television series Canadian Idol.

He was instrumental in founding Flow 93.5 in Toronto, the first urban music-format radio station in Canada when it first went on the air in 2001, and where he was the station's first music director. The success of the station prompted Canadian Idol's producers to select him as a judge before its 2003 launch.

Flex was manager of Maestro, Canada's first Top 40 rapper, and has also taken several former Idol contestants under his wing to promote their albums, such as Gary Beals and Toya Alexis.
