Hi, I am Nika Afkari. Before relocating to Spain, I held leading roles in music theatre productions in Iran and established myself as a rising performer on international stages. My voice was featured in the award-winning short film Dictation (New York Film Festival, 2021), and I earned first prize in classical singing at the Renaissance International Music Festival in Armenia (2016). I perform as a soloist with Enrico Melozzi’s 100 Cello Orchestra, appeared with the NHK TV Choir in Hiroshima, and continue to expand my artistry by studying composition under Grammy-nominated Berklee graduate Amir Darabi. I am now continuing my journey at Berklee College of Music’s Valencia campus, shaping a sound where Persian folk modalities meet modern fusion — powerful, expressive, and boldly original.
