Benyamin's Early Life
Benyamin, whose birth name is Vahid Bahadori, was born in Tehran. He grew up in a traditional Muslim family with Jewish roots. From a young age, he loved music. He chose the stage name Benyamin to honor his Jewish background. The name Benyamin comes from Hebrew and refers to a Biblical figure.
Music Albums and Hits
Benyamin's first album, "85", was an instant success. It quickly made him a star. Some popular songs from this album include "Khatereha" (Memories) and "Adam Ahani" (Robot). In September 2006, Benyamin traveled to Stockholm, Sweden, for concerts. This was the start of his international shows. However, he didn't perform in Iran until four years later.
His second album, "88", was released in April 2009. It sold 500,000 copies in just one week! This album has 17 songs, which is the most in any of his albums. Famous songs from "88" include "Kojaye Donyai" (Where in the world) and "Sedaye Ghalbe to" (Sound of your heart).
The third album, "93", came out in March 2014. Fans had waited five years for this one. It featured songs like "Ghahve" (Coffee) and "Hafte Eshgh" (Week of Love). His latest album, "94", was released in July 2015. This was a nice surprise for fans because it came out just over a year after "93". It includes songs like "Barana", which he sang for his daughter. Benyamin has also tried adding English lyrics to some of his newer songs.
His albums are named after the year they were released, according to the Persian calendar. Benyamin Bahadori is also known for songs with religious themes, such as "Agham Agham" and "Karbala".
