Shahin Najafi is a well known and renowned Iranian artist, musician, poet, and activist who has been using his music and voice to advocate for social and political change in Iran for over a decade. With the recent women-led revolution for freedom in Iran, Najafi has continued to amplify the voices of those fighting for equality and justice despite facing a fatwa, or official death threat, and harassment for his work. Throughout his career, Najafi has used his unique blend of traditional Persian sounds and contemporary rock music to deliver powerful messages of social and political change in Iran. He has tackled a range of controversial issues in his music, including the mistreatment of women and religious minorities in Iran, and his songs have become anthems for those fighting for equality and justice. Najafi remains a powerful and influential voice for women's and LGBTQ rights in Iran, and a fierce defender of freedom of speech and freedom of art in the country. With his upcoming concert in downtown Los Angeles, Najafi promises to deliver a powerful and inspiring performance that will showcase his commitment to his art and his message of social and political change.
