Ashkan Shafiei

Ashkan Shafiei is an Iranian–Australian singer, songwriter, and composer whose music is driven by curiosity, a love of creation, and an ongoing exploration of musical expression.Drawing naturally from Persian musical heritage, the openness of jazz, hypnotic grooves, psychedelic textures, and an evolving palette of sounds, Ashkan crafts immersive musical experiences that resist easy categorisation while resonating across cultures. Every instrument, note, and texture becomes another voice in his musical language, serving the story and composition rather than defining it.Whether performing with his band, collaborating with fellow musicians, or creating solo, Ashkan’s performances invite audiences on a journey where hypnotic rhythms inspire movement and soulful vocals give voice to deep emotion—creating an experience that is both uplifting and deeply intimate.
