Mani Safi - The Hack

The Hack began in 2000, when Mani Safikhani recorded the debut album Under My Skin alongside Kasra Ebrahimi, Peter Akop, and Behzad Khiavchi. The project first gained recognition within the Persian rock community and the Underground Music Competition (UMC) with the single "Trumpet (Sheypoor)," a track later reborn in a 2024 re-release.

Since its inception, The Hack has remained Mani's personal project, shaped along the way by a rotating cast of gifted artists who have left their unique creative marks on the music. The catalogue moves fluidly between distorted grunge, raw punk, and stripped-back acoustic songwriting, performed in English and Persian.

All of The Hack's music is free to hear always. If it means something to you, you can support it on Bandcamp.
