Ali Khodami, better known by his stage name Sorena, is an Iranian rapper. In his music, Sorena explores social and political issues, with a particular focus on the role of women in society.

Activity

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. However, he later voiced his support for the movement on social media. Ali Sorena is known as the "Lonely Man" because he performs most of his works solo and releases them as full albums. Notable examples include Negar and Gavazn. Like many other underground artists in Iran, Sorena works independently of the government, facing numerous challenges in releasing his works. In response to the 14th presidential election, Sorena declared the election illegitimate, writing the following on his Twitter account:
