Afta Hill is an independent hip-hop/R&B artist from Toronto, Canada. Drawing from his Iranian roots, he seamlessly merges influences from icons like Nas, Frank Ocean, and The Weeknd with elements of Persian culture. His musical journey commenced in his formative years, crafting beats on his older brother's laptop; However, it was his music's frequent features in Casey Neistat's viral daily vlogs on YouTube that propelled him into the limelight, captivating millions and leading Afta to make the bold decision to abandon university in pursuit of his passion for music.
Co-founding his independent label and publisher “Bad Faith Records” and assembling a stalwart creative team around himself, Afta took his art to new heights with the highly conceptual “Tehranto” and the eclectic “nothing NOTHING”. These two contrasting studio albums created rich worlds, fully realized with short films, cinematic music videos, visual art, and live shows. Combining this attention to detail with Afta’s polished songwriting engages new listeners while rewarding hardcore fans for deeper exploration.
From humble beginnings of performing in underground shisha lounges, to a Canadian tour and multiple shows in Los Angeles in 2023, Afta continues to gain momentum. With 19 million and counting between his production and artistry, 2025 will be his most ambitious year with the release of regular projects under his "Afta 25" series.
