Tataloo was arrested several times when living in Iran by the Islamic Republic authorities in 2016 and 2018 and spent months in prison.

Frustrated from living in exile, and after the expiry of his Iranian passport, he tried to leave Turkey to return to Tehran.

The beginning of his career began around the same time as other well-known musicians in Persian underground music.

[12] He released a single, "Manam Yeki az un Yazdahtam" (I'm Also One of Those Eleven Players), for the Iranian National Football Team during the 2014 FIFA World Cup.

[16][17] In 2015 he attended the Tehran Peace Museum and was praised by the Iran-Iraq war veterans for his music video, Shohada (The Martyrs).

[18][19] In 2018, after several arrests by the Iranian authorities and failing to get a music activity license from the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance, Tataloo left Iran and immigrated to Turkey.

[24] His fans may follow a lifestyle inspired by Tataloo's, including meditation, spiritual routines and vegan diet.

[25] In 2016, after Iranian police arrested Tataloo, his fans protested before the Justice Court and demanded that authorities release him from prison.

[40] On January 28, 2020, Tataloo was detained by Turkish police in Istanbul, with an Interpol red notice for him in effect.

He was finally handed over to the Iranian government on December 6, 2023 at the land border of Iran and Turkey, and was immediately arrested due to accusations and complaints such as corruption.

[6][45] Tataloo's initial jail term of five years was increased after prosecutors raised objections to the sentence.
