I was always interested to find talents in other cultures. I mean they are introducing their culture mostly!

One of my friends introduced Sajjad Nahavandi to me around 1 year ago and he mentioned his music aren’t in English but Persian! Well i said I would give it a try and I didn’t regret!

For those who don’t know him, Sajjad Nahavandi is a Persian Pop-Rock singer.

According to his Instagram (@Theofficialsajjad) he is living in London.

He was born on First of July 1996 so he is about 24 years old.

This article is about introducing him. If you listen to some of his songs you will realise he got that talent. I just wished he sing in English too but i read some of his translated lyrics in English it was heavy to understand but i did really enjoyed! So meaningful so deep! Some of those was about love some about life.

So this reason made me to send him a direct message on his Instagram and asked him for an interview! And he accepted it!

This is Sajjad Nahavandi interview:

Who has impacted you most in your career and how?

Sajjad Nahavandi: I really love Lana Del Rey, I adore her. Her music her voice and her personality. I wish i could meet her one day. I think the first song that i heard of her was Summertime sadness! What a song! After this song I listen to many of her song and i just fell in love with her.

So after that i heared her Ultraviolence album and until now it’s my number one album in my favorite album list! This album impacted and inspired mostly. It’s theme, it’s atmosphere and the lyrics. I just wanted to have my own version of this album as my music career that day.

Sajjad Nahavandi: well i decided to reduce the time that i spend on social media especially on Instagram. That wasn’t a popular decisions these days but i need to spend more time on my real life but I have to mention Instagram is my main platform that i interactive with my fans and i love it.

Have you done this kind of work before?

Sajjad Nahavandi: Yes, i began Singing and writing lyrics and music when i was around 16 i guess. At the first i was enjoying to write poems and lyrics. I did tried to write them to be meaningful. I just wanted my lyrics tell their own message.

So my life spent In traveling and discovering the world. To meeting people around the world and learning their culture. On my right hand i have a world map tattoo and a adventure text because of it. And now to be somewhere more than 4 years make me sick! I need to see new places new things that what my early life made me like!
