Ario Nahavandi (Persian: آریو نهاوندی; born 1 July 1996), formerly known as Sajjad Nahavandi (Persian: سجاد نهاوندی), is a British-Iranian singer, songwriter, actor, social media Influencer and product designer based in London, United Kingdom.[1][2][3]

Early life

[edit]

Due to his parents' professional commitments, his family frequently relocated, allowing him to experience life in various countries during his childhood, including Armenia, Denmark, Saudi Arabia, China, and Finland.[1][4]

His artistic journey began at a young age, writing lyrics and sharing self-released music through social media, which earned him considerable attention.[1][4] Known for his profound lyrics that explore themes of love, life, and societal issues.[1][5]

Career

[edit]

A significant highlight of Ario Nahavandi's career is his Persian rendition of the iconic Italian protest folk song "Bella Ciao."[6][7] Originally from the late 19th century, this song has been repurposed by various movements advocating for social justice.[1][8] Ario's version has become a powerful symbol of the struggle for women's rights and freedom, inspiring many to advocate for equality and fundamental human rights in some eastern countries.[9]

In his recent single, Khoshe Haye Dard ("The Grapes of Pain"),[10][11] Ario poignantly addresses mental health issues, focusing specifically on depression.[12][13] The song aims to raise awareness and foster dialogue about mental health struggles, reflecting his commitment to using music as a platform for social change.[14][15]

In 2024, Ario Nahavandi sang and wrote two contemporary-style songs, "Lan Tarani" (Persian: لن ترانی)[16] and "One's Own Law," (Persian: قانون خویش) [16] which incorporate poetry from Rumi's Divan-I Kebir.[17] This work exemplifies Rumi's mystical thought, expressing profound love for the beloved (often interpreted as God or the divine).[18] Through these songs, Ario aims to keep the rich Persian literature alive among the younger generation, blending traditional themes with contemporary music styles.[19] [20]

Ario Nahavandi has shown interest in acting through various self-tapes and has entered the acting world, appearing in several productions, including the BBC documentary series High: Surviving a Dubai Drugs Bust.[21]
