Sami Akbari

Sami Akbari writes songs that lean toward introspection, with 'Telling Myself' being one of his better-known tracks. His work often touches on themes of self-reflection and emotional resilience, delivered through a mix of folk and electronic textures.

His debut album was called 'Whispers of the Night,' and he followed it with records like 'The Wanderer' and 'The Tempest.' These albums show him moving through different sounds while keeping a focus on personal and sometimes societal themes.

He has worked with musicians including guitarist Nima Haghpanah, bassist Reza Rahbar, and drummer Amir Tabatabaei. Their playing helps shape the atmospheric quality of his music, which tends to avoid straightforward pop structures in favor of more contemplative spaces.
