Ali Mashverat, professionally known as Serpico, is an Iranian singer and songwriter recognized for his emotionally driven and independent approach to music. Born in Mashhad, Iran, Serpico began his musical journey during his school years and later formed a band while studying at university. In 2011, he moved to Tehran to pursue his career professionally.

His first official release, Barbaad, marked a turning point in his artistic path and later became the title of his debut album. Serpico writes all of his lyrics himself and remains fully independent as an artist, producer, and rightsholder of his work. His music focuses on honesty, identity, and emotional depth rather than trends or formulas. Serpico believes music is a language for expressing the deepest human feelings.

In addition to his artistic work, Serpico engages with current social issues affecting his homeland. In recent months, Iran has faced intensified economic pressure, rising inflation, currency depreciation, and widespread concern about livelihoods, sparking public discussions and social dialogue.

Responding to these challenges, Serpico has launched a creative and socially conscious initiative titled “The Greatest Union of Khorasanis Around the World.” The campaign began with his new single, Mashad— a tribute to his birthplace — which highlights the intersection of culture, music, and civic engagement. Through this campaign, Serpico calls for:

• Addressing radical and traditional restrictions in Mashhad
• Raising awareness about economic and livelihood challenges
• Advocating for civil rights and fair treatment for every individual in society

The initiative combines artistic expression with social activism, aiming to unite people of Khorasan heritage and spark constructive conversations about cultural identity and societal progress.

He is a verified artist on major platforms including Spotify and YouTube Music, and continues to bridge music, community, and cultural dialogue through his work.
