I was born in Tehran, Iran. I started to learn Spanish guitar by myself at the age of 14.

After a while I Met Mr. Babak Amini (a well known Iranian-Canadian guitar player & Composer) & I wanted to take classes  with him  but after a short time he moved to Canada & offered me to continue my classes with Mr. Ashkan Mokhtarband. (He was a great Felamenco teacher ) Mr.Babak Amini helped me a lot & He was so kind to me.
 

I then followed my ambition & I attended classes by the only master of all trades in Bass guitar  Mr.Babak Riahipour, at the age of 19.
After only 2 months I joined a band (Rija) as a bassist at my first experience.

The reason that I love to play bass is to express creativity with the band. To me it’s listening thinking & creating at the same time.

I published my first poem book “In the ceremony of old children” in the year of 2010 (1388) followed by Its album including my music & poems & the Declamation of my friend Mr. Hamid Reza Majidi.

The album I’m currently working on is called  " Terminal "  which I hope you like it.My second poem book “Coffee drunken nightmares” is going to be complete & published soon.

I also play Daf (a Middle Eastern music instrument), Tar, Settar, Tanbur & Electric guitar.

I’ve been graduated from Aviation College as a  Flight Engineer and  I've also studied basic A&P Course.

My activities in music are playing at studio, playing with bands, Composing & Song Writing.
