Haale weaves Persian melodies and Sufi-inspired lyrics through a soundscape of tribal beats, sci-fi sonic guitars, and a twanging setar. Drawing on her Persian and urban American roots, she brings audiences into the ecstatic and electric space where these two worlds meet.

GLOBAL RHYTHM has named her 'One of 15 artists sure to make big waves in the future... This genre-bending seamstress will make you see stars while ascending to her own."

'HAALE...underscores the evolution and transformation of centuries-old art forms as they adapt to the new realities of a multiethnic city...' the NEW YORK TIMES

"Haale puts you in a passionate trance that would be the envy of Sufi mystics." Iranian.com

"Haale summoned and harnessed some of the madness of a distant desert moon...her Sufi-inspired music with rapid staccato drums and her soaring voice singing the words of the ancient Persian poet Rumi called upon the ageless magic of the moon as the sun set and the winds rose from the West in approval..." DESERT POST WEEKLY

Haale has performed at such venues as Lincoln Center, Joe's Pub, Mercury Lounge, Levitt Pavilion, the Joshua Tree Music Festival, Temple Bar and the LA County Museum of Art.
