Persian Rugg is the current musical moniker of Juan Gaviria (he/they), a Colombian American artist residing in Kalamazoo, MI. The project was originally started in 2019 whilst residing in his hometown of Weston, FL. Though all of the project’s studio works are an entirely solo effort, live performances are always a unique experience. Whether it’s an electrifying set featuring other talented musicians from the scene, or a more free-flowing and intimate solo acoustic set, Persian Rugg’s music is all about balance set in an experimental indie rock/folk setting.
