Hossein Tohi
Hossein Tohi was born on 25th of February 1985 in the Iranian capital Tehran. Based on his passion for rap music he started his career already in the age of fifteen. Finally 2 years later, in 2002 he began his professional career as rap artist.
Since 2000 Tohi has created the remarkable number of 40 songs with a variety of subjects such as love songs, religious and society related songs. The songs "Raghse Andam", the dance of the shapes and "Kilid", the key are two of Tohi's most famous hits that count on a considerable fan community. In an interview Tohi admitted that "Boghz", Sobbing is his own choice as favorite song.
Tohi's main, not to say the only target is to cross the Persian speaking BOUNDARIES making the Iranian rap internationally noticeable. The diversity of the lyrics in his songs is definitely the reflection of his enthusiastic approach to achieve that target. As of today Tohi's life concerts are holding within the Persian events several records due to the number of visitors. So Tohi's potential to come internationally through is predictable by the size of his today's mass appeal.
Tohi's personal interests are God, his homeland, his family and his friends. His most important private belongings are his pen and the lyrics book.
Taking into consideration that his homeland, Iran does not provide sufficient opportunities to such an artist developing himself Tohi has always succeeded to follow his target highly professional and quick.
Tohi loves to support other talented Iranian rap musicians wherever he meets them. So he established his own company called "Estedade No", the New Talent to help and promote young artists their light of talent is threatened to run out by lack of opportunities in Iran.
