I was born in 23 November 1980 in Tehran - Iran. my first
encounter with music was in 1993 and it was with iranian
traditional music but after 5 years of practicing and working on
traditional music I have found out that it is not my thing and I
have decided to leave it alone.
in March 1998 I have started to play electric guitar under the
supervision of one of the senior guitar players in Iran, "Farhad
Majzoub" in styles of Rock, Blues and Heavy Metal. Since then I
have tried to play and practice as much as I can.
Through these years I've got my Bachelor Degree in Computer
Engineering and along this profession rock music and playing
guitar was/is/will be the main part of my life, and by the time
passing by my musical taste and playing changed so much, like
many other young players in Iran my first influences were bands
like Metallica, Pink Floyd, Iron Maiden and other similars.
though I still love them I'm into more diverse artists / bands
and my music tastes can varry from Blues to Progressive Metal.
in 1999 me and my close friend, Mohamad Tasooji started a Thrash
Metal band that we later decided to call it "Explode". Explode
is a thrash-Metal quartet and it's focus is on Thrash Metal
music with persian lyrics and we've done our debut album
entitled "Temptation" with that vibe. You can hear my playing as
a lead guitar player in this album, beside working with explode
I love to wrote some of my ideas that are not that "Thrashy"!
and I love to cover my favorite bands/artists works.
As a musician / Teacher I'm always trying to explore more new
things and try more challenging stuff and transfer this beauty
of progressing to my students. beauty of progression and
finding new places to go musically.
