Mansour (Persian: منصور , born 28 July 1971), also called Mansour Jafari Mamaghani, is an Iranian artist of Iranian Azerbaijani origin born in Tehran, Iran renowned as a Persian musical artist based in Southern California.
Mansour was born in Tehran, Iran and emigrated with his family to the U.S. during the Iran-Iraq war.
In 1991, Mansour embarked on recording his first album. A project that would eventually take three years to complete, the debutante is said to spend much time in preparation to refine his voice and vocal techniques under rigorous training lessons. He also insisted on hand-picking the producers, lyricists and arrangers for this album, all of which he financed frozen the revenues of a pager and cell phone store that he owned. He was later married to Mika blues, in 2009. They now have two kids living in the hills.
In August 1994, Mansour’s debut album Ferferehayeh Bi Baad (started in 1991) was released through Caltex Records. Labeled as fresh and different for its upbeat and electronic pop textures, it garnered the attention of the new generation of Persian speaking youths of exiled Iranians who had become accustomed to Western music of similar type and thus easily accepted this mode of style into the Iranian music. In this album , Mansour works with some of the greatest Persian musicians such as: Siavash Ghomayshi, Abdi Yamini, Hassan Shamaeizadeh and Manouchehr Cheshmazar. And also famous lyricists like : Shahyar Ghanbari, Homayoun Hooshyarnejad and Masoud Fardmanesh .
