Roshanak Keimanesh

Roshanak is an Iranian singer-songwriter and voice researcher whose music flows across genres — from the soulful echoes of Persian traditional music to the timeless elegance of Western classical and the vibrant pulse of jazz.
Raised in a home where her grandfather sang Persian poetry and her mother hummed forbidden tunes, Roshanak found her spark in a childhood filled with secret melodies.
Born before the Iranian revolution, she grew up when music was silenced and singing as a woman was a crime.
She began her musical journey teaching herself to play and compose on a humble keyboard, exploring melodies in solitude and in secret.
Through joining a choir, she discovered that her true instrument was her voice — a realization that ignited a deep journey into the art and science of singing. She began seeking out vocal mentors and traditions from around the world, weaving them into her unique sound.
As a researcher in the field of voice, with a focus on women's singing, Roshanak explores the intersections of sound, identity, and resistance.
A poet at heart, she pours her love for literature into lyrics that pulse with raw emotion.
She believes that singing is deeply entwined with the anima within us all — and that the voice of the soul can never be silenced.
For her, music is a rebellion, a refuge, and a bridge between hearts.
