VARSITY DROPOUT

Iranian-American singer-songwriter based in Chicago, Varsity Dropout blends indie rock, folk, and pop into emotionally direct hook-driven songs. His writing leans into vulnerability and melody in equal measure, pairing introspective lyrics with accessible memorable choruses.

The project began as a way to process loss and navigate mental health turning personal experience into songs that feel both intimate and universal. Over time that foundation has evolved into a broader exploration of identity emotional conflict and growth without losing its raw core.

At its center the music is less about performance and more about articulation making internal experiences feel clear relatable and human.
