Game Over Album

Shahrum's interest for singing and music manifested at an early age. He started his career in 1990; however, it was not until 1992 that he released his professional debut album titled K-One. Due to his youth, synergy, and style he gained popularity in a short amount of time.

Interntional popularity came with his second album Atash with hits like Begou Tou Begou and Khater Khah. In 2001 he stopped working with Caltex Records and instead signed on with Taraneh Records. This collaboration yielded couple instant bestsellers. The hit songs Dokhtar Bandari, Yadam Nemireh and Dige Basteh became club favorites. In a 2005 interview with Tapesh, Shahrum talked about his childhood, about his parent's divorce and his mom's short marrige to Googoosh's first husband. Shahrum also, in this interview, blamed Taraneh Records for not promoting his new album Khoshalam enough and delaying its release. His claim was dismissed by the owner of Taraneh, Vartan Avenassian, who cited immaturity of the singer as cause of their tense relationship.

In August of 2006 Shahrum's new music video from his latest album Game Over (directed by élan productions), was aired on all Persian satellite channels. Despite his complications with the record company, this album is still to be released by Taraneh Records.
