About Me

" Persian singer Firouz turns some of his darkest memories into an inspirational message for everyone on his debut single "Warchild." Firouz came to Europe after leaving his beloved country of Iran to live a life of freedom. He now lives in London, UK.Born in 1974, Firouz grew up in the city of Abadan right on the border with Iraq. When he was five years old, Persia officially became the Islamic Republic of Iran after a tumultuous revolution. Firouz' father managed a nightclub, which was forbidden by the new regime and eventually burned down. Months later, the bloody Iraq-Iran war started and Firouz' little border town was occupied and destroyed by Iraqi soldiers.Firouz' parents made arrangements for him to escape to Europe to be safe from harm. In 1988, he finally was able to leave the country and live in freedom. He voices much of his experiences on "Warchild." Firouz explains that his struggle as a young child in the middle of a brutal war is a metaphor for other difficulties many other people face. "My story isn't an exception and not only about teenagers in some parts of the world where they die in senseless wars or lose their homes and family," he tells Arjanwrites.com."Everybody has their own personal fights. The hardest battle is the one inside of yourself and in your own life. Everybody is a warchild.""My songs describe moments and express feelings to help people find beauty in even the hardest situations," he adds.His positivity is striking. Even though, Firouz song warchild was written before Christina released her stripped album the same year , he has been able to turn his experiences around and write a soulful and uplifting mid-tempo tune that is reminiscent of Christina Aguilera's "Fighter."firouz is a graduated interior designer and works also as a Visual Merchandiser, fashion stylist ,make up artist and friend.Firouz is currently writing songs for his debut album that serve as a soundtrack to his memoir The Story of a Warchild. "Warchild" has been remixed and is available on iTunes in the U.S. "thanks to arjan!
