Fahree

Fahree was born in Baku in 1995.

His family is connected to the arts world. While his father was a Jazz drummer and instilled his love for music in Fahree, his grandfather was a respected actor.

He went on to become a lawyer and even got his Master's degree recently. It was the COVID-19 pandemic that made him prioritize his main passion: music.

Fahree started releasing music professionally in 2022 and has, so far, released four singles.
