Hajipour rose to fame after the release of his single ‘Baraye’ (for the sake of) which has been described as ‘the anthem’ of the Mahsa Amini protests and deadly riots in Iran.
In 2023, he won the first Grammy Award for Best Song for Social Change at the 65th Annual Grammy Awards for ‘Baraye.’
The death of 22-year-old Iranian woman Mahsa Amini in police custody in September 2022 set off a wave of Western-backed street protests aimed at triggering unrest in Iran and pushing the so-called ‘regime change’ agenda.
