Panah

Concert

April 26

At the age of seven, Panah discovered her great love: music. But life didn't always treat the Kurdish native, born in Northern Iraq, kindly. At the age of three, a medical error nearly cost her life, leaving her in a coma for months and confined to a wheelchair since. Subsequently, one stroke of misfortune followed another. The Gulf War attacks took loved ones from her, and during her escape from Kurdistan to Austria, she witnessed her family being separated at the border.

Panah wrote her first original songs at the age of nine, and by thirteen, she had already performed at an Open Mic Show. This led to a studio session, a release party, and her appearance at the opening ceremony of the Paralympics in Sydney, where she performed on stage alongside superstars like Kylie Minogue and Vanessa Amarosi. She opened for G-Unit (50 Cent and crew) and met with producer H-Money, known for working with stars like Maroon 5, Jennifer Hudson, and Keyshia Cole. Through this collaboration, Panah explored her talents as a songwriter and producer.

In December 2020, Panah released her first original song "Don't Need Your Love" featuring Manuellsen. In April 2023, she signed her first record deal with Universal Music Germany and will soon release her debut EP.
