About Mehrzad Marashi

German soul-pop singer Mehrzad Marashi rose to fame as the winner of the television show Deutschland Sucht den Superstar in 2010 and advanced to chart-topping success immediately afterward. Born on September 20, 1980 in Iran, he moved to Hamburg, Germany, at age six with his family, and initially began recording under the moniker Marasco, failing to generate any hits. Upon his crowning as winner ofDeutschland Sucht den Superstar, Marashi premiered the single "Don't Believe," an international smash hit that topped the singles charts in Germany and Austria and reached number two in Switzerland. The follow-up single "Sweat (A La La La La Long)" reached number two in Germany, and Marashi's full-length debut, 2010's New Life, reached the Top Five with a stylistically diverse batch of songs. ~ Jason Birchmeier
