Ashkan Shafiei 'Hunter' EP Launch Ashkan Shafiei’s debut EP Hunter was recorded as part of the Artist Accelerator Program by Music in Exile — an initiative supporting immigrant artists with non-English language backgrounds to launch and grow their careers in Australia. For Ashkan, the program provided a powerful opportunity to redefine his musical identity within the Australian landscape. The five-track EP features four original tracks arranged for his band, alongside a heartfelt solo cover of “Chi Begam” by the legendary Marzieh, all recorded live in the studio by local powerhouse Jonathan Boulet (Party Dozen, Body Type). “I feel like this EP represents my own story. I grew up listening to Iranian pop and classical music of pre-revolution Iran. Then I got heavily interested in jazz, funk, rock and their subgenres. Then I immigrated to Australia and jammed with local musicians and I feel like you could hear all that in my music and in this EP.” TICKETING INFO This is an 18+ event.
