Artists
Every Azadichords artist is a voice that chose not to stay silent.
Kamran Rasoolzadeh
Kamran Rasoolzadeh writes, composes, and performs songs shaped by exile and return. His work has been banned, awarded, and — after years of silence — is beginning again.
Kamran Rasoolzadeh is an Iranian poet, composer, and singer-songwriter. His poetry has topped bestseller lists in Iran for over a decade. In 2014, he composed and produced CHESHMAT for vocalist Mehrnoosh — an album that became one of the defining records of its generation, despite, and in part because of, the restrictions placed on the work. After years of censorship and repeated pressure from state authorities, he left Iran and settled in France, where he now lives and works. He founded Azadichords as its Founding Artist.
CHESHMAT (2014)
Before Azadichords, Kamran composed and produced CHESHMAT for vocalist Mehrnoosh — a record that shaped a generation, and drew the attention that would eventually silence him. Its official video, published on the Avang Music YouTube channel, has been viewed roughly 20 million times.
