Arash Sobhani

Arash Sobhani is a songwriter and guitarist known for his sharp lyrics and as the founder of Kiosk, a cornerstone of Iranian alternative music. Now based in New York, Sobhani's debut solo album, DOOD ("Smoke"), is a direct extension of the city's cosmopolitan spirit—where cultures, genres, and ideas intersect in real time. His songs, written in Farsi, speak to anyone who has ever felt like a global nomad: private, poetic, and imbued with an undercurrent of political consciousness—never didactic, always universal.
