Mohsen Chavoshi
Iranian singer and songwriter
Mohsen Chavoshi Hosseini (Persian: محسن چاوشی حسینی; born 30 July 1979) is an Iranian musician, singer, record producer and songwriter, based in Tehran. He has released ten albums, including a soundtrack to the 2007 film Santouri.
Early life
Chavoshi was born in Khorramshahr, Khuzestan Province to a Kurdish family from Kurdistan Province. His family migrated to Mashhad, Razavi Khorasan Province, where he also completed his education.
Career
Chavoshi began his music career after he finished school and military service. His 2008 album Ye Shakhe Niloufar (a lotus sprout) received permission to be released legally. The CD became the biggest legally sold in Iran by selling over one million legal non-bootleg copies. In Yek Shakheh Niloofar, alongside his new producer, Chavoshi experimented with a new style that was more towards the rock music genre while including traditional Persian instruments. In 2010, Chavoshi made his new album Jakat (Jacket), which had many more up-tone, passionate melodies and lyrics. The album started with an upbeat melody in the style of "Bandari" with southern Iranian dialect, which caused a small shock to his listeners.

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Mohsen Chavoshi”, the useful work is to connect “iranian singer and songwriter” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 7, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2028905. 2 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1979, 2007, 2008 and 2010.
Later biographies can compress uncertainty and repeat inherited reputations, so apparently settled claims may still require comparison. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
