About

Edrock is a Toronto-based rock fusion band founded by Arash Emadi, Matin Ansari, and Pouyan Azarkaman.

Our name comes from the Farsi/Arabic word "ادراک" (Edraak) — meaning perception. We blend rock, funk, blues, alternative, Persian, and world music into a bold, genre-defying sound.

Since our debut, we've sold out venues like Drake Underground and Fairview Library Theatre and led community-driven music events across Toronto.

In October 2023, Edrock was named Best Band at the Sing With Me Festival after a powerful performance of original songs that captivated both audience and judges.
