Bahador Kharazmi

Amir Bahador Kharazmi (, born May 7, 1984) better known by his stage name Bahador Kharazmi is an Iranian Singer-Songwriter and Record producer who started his career as an underground music producer after the Iranian Revolution in which music was considered Haram and all forms of popular music were banned. In 2003 his single the cover of an old Persian Song, "Too In Zamoone (Vay Vay)", which was unofficially released on his weblog was well-received among the Persian community and became a successful release for him and earned him a record deal with a major label in the United States, Avang Music. The album was internationally published and released in 2004. Since the late 1990s, Bahador has become one of the major contributors to forming the underground music movement in Iran.
