Yaser Bakhtiari (Persian: یاسر بختیاری, born 1982) better known by his stage name Yas /jɑːs/ (یاس), is an Iranian rapper. He wears a Faravahar pendant, a symbol of Iranian nationalism and Zoroastrianism. On 21 December 2011 Yas was chosen by the voters as the Artist of the Week in MTV IGGY Entitled Tehran’s Hard-Hitting MC. Yas is one of the founders of Persian rap, and in 2013 he became the first Iranian rapper to be allowed by the Islamic Republic to legally perform in Iran. Yas developed an interest in hip hop music during his teenage years. According to biographical accounts, he was introduced to rap music at the age of 14 after his father returned from a business trip to Germany with recordings including a Tupac album and other hip-hop music. Following the death of his father, Yas took on greater family responsibilities and left his plans for higher education in order to work and contribute financially to his household. During this period, he began writing poetry, which later developed into songwriting and rap lyrics, marking the beginning of his career in music. Yas started his work after the 2003 Bam earthquake. Devastated by the disaster, it was then, that he wrote his first song "Bam".
