Thanks for stopping by! If you came here looking for more Kian and Liam I’m sorry to tell you that they aren’t a real pop duo, and Aftabeh Records only exists in our hearts and minds. This project is a music video for my cover of the Persian classic: “Ameneh” directed by Peter Azen. Credits for all the wonderful folks involved are below. -Neimah
