What is this project all about?
NAFAS. Breath. The power of telling my story of truth.
Finding my inner voice. Listening. Being honest and loud. A tribute to everyone who felt unheard.
My career began as a popstar, singing boppy lovesongs, and it felt goldenfor a while. Then came the fall into insecurity, the search for a place called home, grief and despair. And with it came anger. About injustice, corruption, destruction I had to witness. Until I discovered love and hope again in deep solidarity. United with people who shared their power of truth. A vision of humanity, healing and standing together. With passion for life.
My story inspired me to write and sing songs of love. My story of transition from lived oppression to creative freedom is captured in my first solo album.
My voice will take you on a journey through lyrics and poetry, in dari/farsi. Over 20 talented musicians have contributed to an extraodinary and daring compilation of sounds.
What is the project goal and who is the project for?
My creative collaborations with other artists are based in Augsburg, Germany. From there I network with with fellow artists from all over the world. I've had the privilege to get involved in many, fantastic song projects.
My pledge to you comes from a deep desire to share my story through music. This is your opportunity to finance and publish a collaborativeproject driven by love. To help share a story of truth and power through a voice that needs to be heard in the fight for freedom and autonomy. My listeners are the source of my creative success!
