Better known as the Non Conformist or, "The Bob Dylan of Iran" (according to the NY Times), Mohsen Namjoo's music will make the hairs on the back of your neck salute you. With what seems to be one effortless breath, Namjoo's blend of the modern and the classic is only one facet of his unique musical style.
The beauty about his music, is that it has this incredibly powerful, modern edge but at the same time, the way he manipulates his vocals makes you feel as if you are sitting amongst a Sassanid Orchestra in ancient Persia.
Namjoo's style is emanated from his soul; be it his capturing vocal abilities or the way his character is captured in the awesome black and white streaks of his afro- these iconic features are not the result of a $495 per hour stylist, or the effects of a Hollywood photoshoot. They are raw, real and riddled with character. His style is not dictated by designer clothes, similar to the way his musical style is not dictated or restricted by any form of trend. Nevertheless, the uniqueness Mohsen Namjoo exudes, certainly makes him one of contemporary-Iran's most talented style icons and artists.
