من و غربت پندارم

Hesam Faryad was born on September 8th, 1980 in Tehran, Iran. As an only child, and with his parents by his side, he grew up in his grandfather’s traditional house. With Jasmine flowers scattered in the backyard, and an old Mulberry tree beside a small pond full of fishes. His poetic father known for his vibrant voice, entertained and performed for the local population.

From the tender age of five Hesam sang with his father and quickly acquired the ability to perform live. It was at this age that he sang the popular song “To Ey Pari Kojaie originally sang by Master Ghavami”, in a gathering of four hundred people. He never forgets the reactions he received from the crowd. ”People were staring at me. No one moved. They seemed almost in a trance. When I finished, everyone applauded cheerfully”. With so much music in his life, it was only a matter of time before Hesam realized that music was in his blood. It was something that came so naturally to him that when he sang it was almost like breathing.

At the age of eight he started taking Tombak lessons at Malek Music Institution with the Master Izad Kaviani. When he was only nine, due to his passion for Cinema, he was able to win the heart of an Iranian director “Ghodratollah Solh Mirzaie” to appear in his film called “Yek Khata” (One Mistake). This movie was a project for “Kanoone Parvaresh Fekri Koodakan”. He wrote his first poem “Ghobare Cheshmhat”, and his first melody at the age of ten. Hesam was twelve when his father registered him to learn Radif at Talar Vahdat with Master Karim Saleh Azimi.

His father left Iran when he was only fourteen years old. By this time he had his own music band and was performing in different gatherings. One year after his father’s departure, Hesam and his mother left Iran to Turkey to find their way to join his father. After a transit of eight months in Turkey, he was able to leave for Belgium but without his mother. His reunion with his father after a period of almost two years fulfilled him with much joy. However his distance from his mother and Iran, and his unwanted migration caused him a lot of emotional turbulences. At this time he started writing more seriously. He received great instructions from his father, Shoorideh, Nimad and some of the greatest Iranian poets such as Zari Minouie and Shahriar Dadvar.

During the first couple of years abroad, he has performed in many different countries all across Europe. He has a passionate belief in the importance of civil and human rights in every society.
