Rana Farhan, born in Iran in 2005, is an Iranian musician and singer known for her work in jazz and blues. After graduating from Tehran University, she left Iran in 1989 and has since resided in New York. In 2005, Farhan collaborated with guitarist/producer Steven Toub for her debut full-length CD, The Blues Are Brewin', a collection of American jazz and blues standards. Her second release, I Return, combined classical Persian poetry with contemporary blues and jazz music. The album included the independently-circulating single "Rumi's Prayer," which led to further collaborations with Toub, resulting in an album featuring poetry by major poets such as Rumi and Hafez. Notably, the track "Drunk with Love" from this album gained significant attention. Farhan's subsequent albums include Your Wish (2009) and Moon and Stone (2011).
