Kiyan Foroughi

Tech CEO by day, producer by night. Born in France to Iranian parents, raised across Paris, Dubai, Boston, New York, London, and now Singapore... I'm always translating between cultures, philosophies, and creative worlds. I'm influenced by A Tribe Called Quest, Nujabes, MC Solaar , Kendrick Lamar, KAYTRANADA, and Erykah Badu. During COVID lockdowns in 2020, I worked with UK hip-hop legend Funky DL on my first EP, cracking open a limiting belief: "I'm not creative." What followed was late nights perfecting my craft and what came out was inner light. OUTER SPACE., a Rumi and Carl Jung-inspired mythology about the longest journey: the one back to yourself. The album features Rachelle Ruby as the protagonist, and collaborators Substantial, Masia One, George Azzi, Jude, as well as actor Darius Homayoun (Succession, Tehran), with engineering by Taiyo Shirai. inner light. OUTER SPACE. won Gold 🏆 at the 2026 LIT Music Awards for Best Concept Album, Best Neo-Soul Album, and Best Trip-Hop Album. You were always the destination. But nobody arrives once.
