E RELEASE:

Musician Juvahn Empowers

Iranian Youth Through the

Power of VR Performance

os Angeles, May 2023 - Musician Juvahn has released a
new single titled "Eyes of the Revolution" dedicated to the
LWomen's Life Freedom Movement in Iran, expressing sad-
ness over the treatment of protestors during the recent politically-
charged events, including being jailed, shot in the eye, and killed.
Despite not being of Iranian descent, Juvahn's Palestinian/Jorda-
nian father migrated to Australia in search of a place where he
could raise his family with freedom and autonomy. This back-
ground has given Juvahn a deep appreciation for the value of
human rights and individual freedom, which is reflected in their
music.
In addition to the release of the song, Juvahn is planning to ad-
dress the issue of restricted access to music and live performance
in Iran through a live performance of the song captured in virtual
reality. Without having to worry about punishments from authori-
ties, live performances in VR offer a safe and immersive way for
people to experience live concerts and performances regardless of
their geographic location.
Juvahn's live VR performance of the single will be done in col-
laboration with 4dFun Inc, who will be providing a state-of-the-
art volumetric capture stage and special AI technology. The per-
formance will be made available to the public on their Scenez.io
platform on June 9th, 2023.
"I believe the power of music should never be limited by geo-
graphical or political boundaries," says Juvahn. "My hope is for
people everywhere to have a safe and immersive way to experi-
ence live music and connect with their favorite artists. With this
VR performance, I aim to inspire the younger generation in Iran
to explore music and the arts without fear."
This innovative approach to music performance could serve as an
inspiration for young musicians and artists in Iran who are look-
ing for alternative outlets for self-expression.
"I believe that technology can help provide opportunities for
those who have been marginalized or oppressed to connect with
the world. By utilizing VR technology to empower Iranian youth
and musicians, I hope to send a message of support and solidarity
to those who have been struggling for their rights and freedom. I
aim to create a platform where we can come together to celebrate
the universal language of music and break down the barriers that
often divide us."
