Music Kashani's interest in singing and music manifested at an early age. He started his career in 1990; however, it was not until 1991 that he released his professional debut album titled
K-One, promoted by Alireza Amirghassemi, and also with support of
Persian super star
Leila Forouhar. Due to his youth, synergy, and style, he gained popularity in a short amount of time. International popularity came with his second album
Atash with hits like
Begou Tou Begou and
Khater Khah. In 2000, he stopped working with Caltex Records and instead signed on with Taraneh Records. This collaboration yielded a couple of instant bestsellers. The hit songs
Dokhtar Bandari,
Yadam Nemireh and
Dige Basteh became club favorites. In a 2005 interview with
Tapesh, Kashani talked about his childhood, about his parents' divorce and his mom's short marriage to
Googoosh's first husband. Kashani also, in this interview, blamed
Taraneh Records for not promoting his new album
Khoshalam enough and delaying its release. His claim was dismissed by the owner of Taraneh, Vartan Avenassian, who cited immaturity of the singer as cause of their tense relationship. In August 2006, Kashani's new music video from his latest album
Game Over (directed by élan productions), was aired on all Persian satellite channels. Despite his complications with the record company, this album was still released by Taraneh Records. His latest music, Sahneh Sazi, was performed at Valley Oaks Memorial Park at his funeral, and artists such as
Andranik Madadian and
Shahbal Shabpareh attended his funeral and spoke about Kashani. Life is like an elevator, it raises some up, but he who is down is sad. Shahrum went to his studio in Los Angeles twice to record this song and recorded it several times. Because he was telling me I think my feelings are not real". He died in hospital in
Istanbul from
COVID-19, while being treated for liver problems brought on by alcoholism. == Discography ==
