Kaveh Afagh (Persian: کاوه آفاق) (born May 1, 1983) is an Iranian singer, songwriter, arranger, guitarist as well as an actor and painter.[1]

Career

[edit]

Afagh learned to play classical guitar as a child. By age 15, he knew how to play the electric guitar, and became interested in rock music. He began composing his own songs, completing several pieces by age 17.[2] In 2010, Afagh won the 2nd Underground World Music Festival with his song Ghesseye Zirzamin, which featured Yas and Arad Aria.[3] He received the Best Performance Award in the Contemporary Music category at the 5th Iranian Resistance Festival in 2012.[4] In 2017, Afagh published the first Persian rock songbook, Tehran – 57.[5] Afagh is also the founder of band The Ways. With them, he has composed several songs for Iranian plays and movies.[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]

Afagh is the first rock singer in post-Islamic Revolution Iran to obtain an activity license, which he obtained after being banned for ten years from performing.[15] He remains one of the country's most prominent rock singers.[16][17]

Aside from his music, Afagh has also exhibited his artwork in several art galleries.[18] His artwork is influenced by music and social issues.[19]
