Singing in Persian diaspora events and venues, at 21 he signed a contract with ParsVideo specializing in Iranian music. Afshin incorporated elements of Iranian music and youth-oriented western pop, hip hop and rap music in his songs and launched a number of albums and music videos[2] that became popular in Germany and the Iranian diaspora.

gollark: What *is* your solution?
gollark: I'm sure it's solvable, but LAZINESS!
gollark: See, this is why PotatOS ends up just cloning the bare minimum from the actual environment.
