Biography |
Moein was born in Esfehan, Iran's city of Artists. He loved his birthplace so much that
even though Tehran had become the Center of all artists, he still stayed in Esfehan and continued to perform at "Shah Abbas"
Hotel.
In 1982, after Writing "Yeki Ra Doost Midaram", he left the country.*
Soon that song
became the hottest song and everyone started to sing it.
Moein continued to produce hits after hits. So many classics followed; Kabeh, Havas, Esfehan,
Miparastam, Parichehr,.....
To date Moein has produced 19 albums. All his songs are within these albums, except a song
for Iranian new-year (Don't know the title, but perhaps 'Ey asheghan Iran'?). That ong was a collaboration with Morteza, Andy,
Kouros, and Leila Forouhar.
*Note: In one of his rare interviews, Moein actually explains that by the time he arrived
to L.A., that songs had already been performed by Hayedeh!
However, interestingly it was his version which became very
popular. At that time Hayedeh was (and still is) one of the most popular Persian singers. Moein basically came out of nowhere,
performed the song, and the rest is history! It's interesting to note that even to-date many people think Moein has performed
Hayedeh's song.
