Painted Diaries was evolving at the same time that the world was beginning to learn of the horrors of the war in Darfur, in the Sudan, and Reza launched a companion website to Painted Diaries to promote peace in the area. A critical success, Painted Diaries has done Khan proud, but not complacent; A Simple Plan began to take shape and would become the most western of Reza’s output to date. (

Reza will be able to serendipitously mesh his music with his humanitarian commitment. Through Peace Partners, a Canadian NGO, he is writing songs for Amnistie international Canada francophone in Montreal.
In addition, Reza continues to work for world peace as an advisor to the UN.
Reza was touched and enthusiastic about Peace Partners promotion of Peace through out music. When Peace Partners founder, Patrick Lajeunesse, invited him to participate to the project, Reza spontaneously offered to contribute with the songs “Dawning” and “Daybreak” from the “ Painted Diaries” album.
