Golazin Ardestani (Persian: گل آذین اردستانی), better known by her stage name Gola or Golazin (Persian:گل آذین), is an Iranian singer-songwriter, musicologist, vocalist and actress based in London.[1] She plays piano, santur, dammam (Persian percussion) and the flute.[2][3][4][5][6][7]

Early life

Ardestani grew up in Isfahan, Iran. She studied music composition and performance at Tehran's University of Soureh.[8] In 2011, she moved to London to pursue a master's degree in music psychology at Roehampton University.[9][10][11]

Career

When she was 19, Gola joined Iran's first girlband, Orchid, which was only allowed to play before a female audience in Iran because of local laws.[9][8][12][13] She was arrested three times in Iran.[14] Following her tours with Orchid, she honed her own tastes as an artist and garnered a fervent fan base.[11]

The restrictions in place for female singers in Iran, and political unrest, fueled Golazin's decision to move to London in 2011.[15][12] Her debut single, "Miri", received over 3 million listens on Radio Javan.[9][8]

In 2018, Gola released the single "The Line", her first track in English.[16][10] Her single "Booseh" was streamed more than 800,000 times in the month after its release. She released the single "Now You Know" in 2019.[17] She has worked alongside Idan Raichel and Iranian rapper Hossein Tohi.[8] Gola creates music influenced by both Eastern and Western music, with an underlying message of raising awareness of Iran.[18]
