Ali Khodami (born April 16, 1990), better known by his stage name Sorena, is an Iranian rapper.[2] [3] [4] In his music, Sorena explores social and political issues, with a particular focus on the role of women in society.[5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13]
Sorena addresses political themes in various ways through his music, but his initial silence during the start of the Woman, Life, Freedom Movement sparked controversy.[14] However, he later voiced his support for the movement on social media.[15] [7] Ali Sorena is known as the "Lonely Man" because he performs most of his works solo[16] and releases them as full albums. Notable examples include Negar and Goosfand.[10] [16] Like many other underground artists in Iran, Sorena works independently of the government, facing numerous challenges in releasing his works.[17] In response to the 14th presidential election, Sorena declared the election illegitimate, writing the following on his Twitter account:[18]
