Farzad Farzin's Career
His Music Journey Begins
Farzad Farzin started his music career in 2001. He was one of the first members of a band called the Corouz Group. However, he left the band before they released their first album. Even though he left, he kept the rights to all the songs he had written for the group.
Becoming a Solo Artist
After leaving the band, Farzad began his solo career. It took a while for his first official album, Sharaareh, to be released in 2005.
His second album, Shock, faced some challenges. It was supposed to come out in 2006, but it was delayed. This happened because some of his new songs were shared online before the album was officially released. This made it hard for him to publish and perform his music legally in Iran. Despite this, he performed concerts in Europe, including in the Netherlands and Germany, in 2007. The Shock album finally came out in 2008.
To prevent similar problems, Farzad tried to work with websites to stop them from sharing his songs too early. For his third album, Shaans, he was very worried about his music being leaked. He even released the album a bit early one afternoon, and the cover had a small mistake! He was so nervous he couldn't sleep. This album was promoted in a new way: through movie theaters and on DVDs, with a short music video featuring four of its songs.
In August 2010, one of his songs, "Chikeh Chikeh" from the Shaans album, became popular in Europe. It stayed on the music charts for two weeks and got a lot of attention online in Iran.
Acting Roles
Besides singing, Farzad Farzin has also acted in movies and TV shows. His first movie role was playing a singer in a film called Pesaraane Ajori in 2007. Before that, he appeared in several short films and a TV movie.
He also acted in the movie Sag haye poshali and in a TV series called Asheghaneh. Later, he joined the cast of another TV series called Mankan.
