Ashley Zarah is an Iranian, global Pop artist from Los Angeles, CA. Born to a family of Iranian refugees, her multicultural and genre-bending music represents the sound of “Iranian-America," relaying stories of the human condition that break barriers and borders.
While on scholarship at the highly prestigious art institution, Berklee College of Music, she revealed herself to be both a prolific writer and expressive vocalist but truly hooked viewers with her ability to transcend cultural and generational differences with her unifying storytelling - and despite rising as a Pop icon in the Iranian diaspora, continues to use her platform to bravely represent the people, particularly the women and indigenous minorities, of Iran and the Middle East.
Ashley’s versatility, range, proud reclamation of her identity and bold representation in public media has not only caused controversy and political discomfort, but more importantly has reframed how viewers see themselves as well as foreign cultures around them. With acclaim from artists like Ed Sheeran, features in world-renowned editorials, awards from film festivals across the globe, and fearless collaborations with international artists - eyes in every country have set their sights on her impactful career. A clever bridge between English, Farsi, and sometimes Hebrew... her distinct voice unites us, and may just save the world.
