ABOUT THE ARTISTS
About Shahrzad Sepanlou: Shahrzad Sepanlou is a gifted Iranian-American singer based in Los Angeles, California. In her music, Shahrzad has opted to walk that risky line between the accessibility of Persian pop and the sophistication of modern pop idioms, at times employing phrase asymmetries and rubato renditions that overlap those of art songs, with courage, and with encouraging success. Her fluent and seemingly effortless executions are evidence of natural expressive skills and genuine appreciation for style and musical language. In that respect alone, she remains a rare and daring figure in her choice of lyrics and composers among singers of Iranian origin.
About Erwin Khachikian: Erwin Khachikian is a composer, experimental, indie, rock artist from Los Angeles.
About Rana Farhan: Iranian artist Rana Farhan sings in a cool bluesy style that transcends time and erases all borders, wowing listeners worldwide. With each new release Rana redefines a genre that seems to be hers alone.
