Raam is an Iranian musician currently based out of Tehran. He started his musical career as the singer-songwriter and founder of Hypernova, a post-punk band in New York, which was born in the undergrounds of Tehran in the early 2000’s.

After receiving some modest success with Hypernova, he decided to pursue a solo career under the name of King Raam. After several years of adventures between New York, London and Los Angeles, Raam has finally returned to his motherland in order to record his new album.

The progressive nature of the modern Iranian society, led by the younger generation, has ushered a new era of creativity that has opened the way for its artists to express themselves more freely in a country where only a few years ago such creative outbursts were considered to be crimes. Hopefully this is only the beginning of this positive trend.
