[edit] Background
Along with the title song Maach, have made repeated airings on various Iranian radio and TV stations-and thus making Afshin among Iranians-a household name.
In addition to his Persian songs, he has collaborated with his brother Amir Ali for German language songs. His music merges Western and Persian pop with traditional Persian music to extract a "unique" modern music. His lyrics have been called mellow but, at times, overt.
He has had growing problems since he was a mere boy, this is what his critics take joy in when they make fun of him.
