Zanyar has after that gone on to become one of Sweden's best-selling singers, with numerous chart topping songs and music albums.
He began singing at an early age, citing Michael Jackson as his biggest inspiration.

In spring of 2004, Darin auditioned for a place on the first series of Idol with "God Must Have Spent A Little More Time On You" by N*Sync, the four judges were very impressed and he passed through to the theatre round and then on to the semi-finals where he sang "Beautiful" by Christina Aguilera and received 78% of the public vote to get through to the live finals. He was a huge success on the show taking only placing in the bottom 2 on one occasion when he sang "When I Fall In Love" by Nat King Cole on October 29, 2004.
