My story:
I was born in Iran in 1987 and developed a deep passion for Iranian ethnic and Sufi music from a young age. This passion evolved into a commitment to creating meditative practices that help others connect more deeply with themselves and find peace through music.
To me, music is not just an art form but a tool for spiritual and mental growth. Believing that music profoundly connects with our inner world, I traveled extensively across Iran in my youth to study various musical traditions and integrate them into my meditative practices. In 2015, I began designing a collective meditative and musical practice.
In 2016, I furthered my studies in India, where I immersed myself in Indian classical music and became acquainted with the deep, introspective style of Dhrupad. After three and a half years in India, I returned to Iran before moving to Europe. There, I attended the Conservatorium of Groningen in 2022 and completed a master's program titled 'New Audience and Innovative Practice.' My research focused on blending art and meditation, leading to the development of a unique method that bridges these worlds.
I play a range of instruments, including the Afghan Rubab, Punjabi Sarinda, Iranian Tambour, Setar, and Harmonium, and also perform Dhrupad and electronic music. Currently, I offer meditative singing and attentive listening sessions and compose music for performances and theater.
