Faravaz Biography
Faravaz's musical journey began in Iran, where solo singing by women was forbidden, and societal acceptance of women's participation in music was limited. Undeterred, she performed as a background singer, often watching male performers take the stage while she was denied the opportunity. "Every time I went to a concert, I cried," she recalls. To share her music, Faravaz turned to social media, an act that led to her arrest and a one-year prison sentence. Faced with this, she chose self-imposed exile and restarted her musical career in Berlin. Her experiences deeply influence her music, which blends alternative pop with Oriental elements and features powerful lyrics in English. Committed to human rights, especially for women and queer communities in the Middle East, she founded the non-profit organization "The Right to Sing e.V." Since arriving in Germany, Faravaz has released songs like "Mullah," "Enemy of God," and "Dessert," excerpts from her EP "WLF," inspired by the "Woman Life Freedom" movement in Iran. Her work has been featured by international platforms such as BBC, Deutsche Welle, and ARTE. The documentary "My Orange Garden" explores her life struggles and artistic journey. "Singing is my weapon in the fight," says Faravaz. She sings to survive and to make a lasting societal impact, embodying the transformative power of art.
