Mahsa Vahdat

Mahsa Vahdat is an Iranian vocalist and composer whose hauntingly beautiful voice carries the soul of Persian poetry and tradition while embracing global musical collaborations. Known for her mastery of classical and folk styles, she intertwines themes of love, freedom, and human dignity into her work, often navigating artistic restrictions in her homeland where female solo singers face public performance bans. Alongside her sister Marjan Vahdat, she’s become a symbol of resilience, releasing albums like *Traces of an Old Vineyard* and *Enlighten the Night* that blend Persian instrumentation with genres like jazz, flamenco, and Scandinavian folk. Her projects, including the cross-cultural *Endless Path* and the tender lullabies of *Lullaby of the Sea*, reflect her commitment to artistic freedom and dialogue. Based in Norway part-time, she collaborates with musicians worldwide, earning international acclaim (including a FREEMUSE Award) for keeping Persian musical traditions alive while advocating for creative expression.
