Biography
Ardalan Afshar (Persian: اردلان افشار; born 20 September 1984 in Tehran), better known by his stage name Nazar, is an Iranian and Austrian rapper and singer.
Biography
Nazar grew up in Vienna, Austria to Iranian parents. His father had died as a soldier in the Iran-Iraq War, whereupon his mother fled to Austria with him and his brother. Nazar spent his youth in Vienna's district of Favoriten, where at this time he often clashed with neo-Nazis. In 2006 Nazar began his career as a rapper. At a gig near Stuttgart, he was discovered by the record label Assphalt Muzik. In 2007, Nazar published several songs on the Internet, which spread quickly even outside the country.
In June 2008 the charges of robbery against him were dropped. Nazar's lawyer said his client had in the commotion "just" pulled a gun and threatened to beat the opponent.
On 12 March 2010 Nazar published the album Artkore with RAF Camora.
Since 6 May 2011 Nazar has been seen in the documentary Schwarzkopf by Arman T. Riahi. On 13 May he released his album Fakker
