For an artist whose whole identity is built on intimate cultural fusion, there may be no better stage than SoFar Sounds — the global platform known for stripping concerts down to their bare essentials. That’s exactly where Iranian-American pop artist Darvishi will find herself on October 29th at 8 PM in Los Angeles, marking her first-ever participation in the SoFar Sounds series. The appearance comes on the heels of her inaugural festival performance at Eastalgia Festival at Lake Piru on October 10th.
“I’m so excited to be making my Sofar Sounds debut! There’s something really special about intimate performances where you get to connect with an audience on a more personal level. And I love bringing a little bit of Persian culture and magic into everything I do, so I can’t wait to share that with everyone on October 29th!” – Darvishi
The timing of the show is no accident. Just weeks before taking the SoFar stage, Darvishi released her latest single, “Jat Khali Nabood,” on October 2nd. The track is a playful Persian-inspired pop song about moving on from a past relationship and realizing life is better without that person — a theme that resonates with anyone who’s ever turned heartbreak into self-discovery.

About Darvishi
Dubbed the “Persian Pop Princess,” Darvishi has carved out a lane that merges contemporary pop with the melodic traditions of her Persian roots. Born in Washington, D.C., and now based in Los Angeles, she first turned heads with her debut single “Taste Like Summer” (2019) and followed up with the 2023 EP Mockingbird. More recent output, including her EP Persian Love Fantasy and the single “Jelo,” shows an artist in constant evolution. By weaving English and Farsi lyrics into her songs, she tells stories that honor her Iranian heritage while reaching for a global pop audience.
Her live résumé includes appearances at The House of Blues Anaheim, LA County Fair’s Next Fest, and CSUN’s SummerFest — performances that have showcased her blend of charisma, energy, and cultural pride. As a first-generation Iranian-American woman, Darvishi positions her music as a bridge between two worlds, celebrating where she comes from while pushing pop into fresh, bold territory.
Why it matters: Darvishi’s SoFar Sounds debut represents more than just another club date — it’s a signal that Persian cultural identity is finding a wider home in the intimate corners of the American music scene. For audiences, her October 29th show offers a rare chance to experience that fusion up close, without the distance of a festival stage.
