Faraz Khosravi Danesh (Persian: فراز خسروی دانش) is an Iranian composer. He co-founded the Damour Vocal Band with Ata Hakkak. While composing and singing for his own band, he also composed for the band "Sokoot 7[1]" and the soundtrack for the animation: "Shippers".[2]
Damour Vocal Band was a successful experience for its members, especially for Khosravi Danesh who was the leader and composer of the band.[3][4][5] The a cappella band effectively introduced the genre to the Iranian audience, performing on national TV and winning different awards. What makes the band stand out is that it provided a legal framework for women to sing, in a country where singing for women is prohibited.[6]
Khosravi Danesh used the publicity from the Damour Vocal Band experience to launch a career in teaching music,[7] create his own record company,[8] and gain recognition as a composer.
