ROSHI NASEHI (LONDON) (digital)
Roshi Nasehi is a Welsh born singer-composer of Iranian parentage with a strong track record in live performance, collaboration, recording, and workshops. After moving to London, she formed her much acclaimed "experimental, electronic Welsh-Iranian folk pop" project Roshi Featuring Pars Radio with prolific percussionist/producer Graham Dowdall (Gagarin, Nico, Cale, Pere Ubu); an unorthodox sound world combining Roshi's intimate singing style with Gagarin's experimental electronic powers to create a unique genre-crossing, “exotic, folktronica landscape.” Her songs reflect her origins, influences and experiences in a personal highly individual way accompanied by unusual piano or keyboard arrangements, vocal loops and effects – they are reflective, melodic and quirky – her voice airy and tender but possessed of an inner power. When she interprets Iranian song, it is in a personal style bringing a contemporary twist combined with an authentic understanding of context and language.
