My name is Soheil Soheili. I am a Berlin-based musician, label manager, and radio producer, working at the intersection of sound, image, and text. Originally from Iran, I make art both as a personal pursuit and as a professional practice.
….I grew up in Tehran, where my first musical experiences began in the early ’90s, learning alongside my music-loving father. In the early 2000s I played in a punk band, built makeshift skateparks, and started DJing at extreme-sport events — experiences that gave me a lasting sense of debt and gratitude to underground art culture and the community that supported it….
Over time, my focus has shifted towards sound engineering and production — collaborating with diverse artists and musician friends who were interested in sound. At Studio A Tehran, we prioritized non-mainstream art, including Jazz, Contemporary, and Experimental music. My last degree is a B.A in English Language and Literature (2015), and writing is always a part of my practice.
From 2019 onward, I have facilitated releases for artists working in Experimental and Noise-based practices through aNoise — the independent, artist-run label I co-founded with my colleague Leonie Roessler.
Since moving to Germany in 2023, I have been working as a freelance multi-media artist — collaborating with bands and ensembles, curating experimental sound events with different artists, and building networks across Berlin’s music scene.

I work at the intersection of Sound, Image, and Literature. Alongside my artistic practice, I have worked as a translator for academic papers and journals in the fields of Art, Architecture, Urban Studies, and Music Theory. More recently, I have been the executive producer of several music albums, while also working as a promoter and organizer.
