Zoot

Zoot is a Persian Pop Rap artist based in Atlanta. Inspired to inspire - his musical journey & passion started at a young age from learning flute, xylophone, and the Persian Santoor all by the age of nine. Given the limited freedom in Iran, the artist moved to the United States at the age of 13 and started recording songs on his iPhone shortly after - delivering unique music that impacts and resonates with listeners ever since.
While struggling with isolation & culture shock, Zoot began to understand the healing power of music as it was changing his perspective - making it a personal goal to harness that power in his own songs.
