Music is a universal language that transcends boundaries, connects cultures, and touches our deepest emotions. It has the power to change lives, challenge norms, and inspire social change. However, as we celebrate the incredible diversity of voices and talents within the music industry, it's essential to acknowledge that the path to equality, diversity, and inclusion has not always been harmonious.

In this podcast, we aim to spotlight the stories, struggles, and successes of those working tirelessly to make the music industry a more inclusive and equitable space for all. We will delve into the experiences of artists, producers, managers, and industry professionals who are breaking barriers, pushing boundaries, and reshaping the landscape of the music world.

Sahara Dawn, a multidisciplinary visionary and experimentalist currently based in the United States, is on a mission to explore the authentic depths of her being through avant-garde sounds infused with the enchanting spirit of Persia. Her musical journey began in Tehran, where she fearlessly organized underground events in breathtaking locations. It was there that she formed her inaugural psychedelic prog rock band, a pivotal step that led to her debut album and ultimately secured her a place at London’s Access to Music School.

Sahara's commitment to her authentic self is evident in the risks she took in Tehran, risking her life to bring unique and ancient future sounds to life. Her music, a fusion of the ethnic and the avant-garde, is a testament to her deep connection with her roots and her vision for the future.

Since settling in the USA, Sahara has shared the stage with renowned artists such as Desert Dwellers, Amani Friend, Treavor Moontribe, Govinda, Kaminanda, Kalya Scintilla, Rising Appalachia, Elephant Revival, Coco Rosie, Eve Olution, Ruby Chase, Random Rab, Emancipator, Whitebear, and Tribone.

Her performances intricately weave sonic energies of antiquity and the future, bringing people together through the freeing discovery of new movement and transcendental divine connection. Sahara's stage presence is a celebration of her authentic self, a reflection of her commitment to bringing forth ethnic ancient future sounds.
