Notably, the song “Az Eshgh Begoo,” co-created with Bahram, became a chart-topping hit and brought both artists into the limelight.
Recognizing that economic skills were essential alongside artistic capabilities, Hamed took additional courses, including an MBA and DBA in business administration, to balance artistry with commercialism. His strategic approach to branding and management enabled him to manage multiple musical productions.
