    Ep.369 - "The Concept Of Surrender" W/ Kiyan Foroughi

    Another interview for you to step to! Typically, when I interview artists they have spent most of their lives creating music one way or another. But there's many ways to find yourself producing your debut album and for French-Iranian-now-residing-in-Singapore entrepreneur Kiyan Foroughi, he got to this point in a roundabout way. We talk about his beginnings, his business background, how COVID was the catalyst for his music journey and of course his Top 5. Kiyan's album "inner light. OUTER SPACE" drops 27th February.
