I was born in 1990 in Kermanshah, Iran, and from a young age, I've felt a deep connection to the music and traditions of my heritage. 

​

At 13, I began learning the Tombak, (the central drum in persian traditional music) guided by Master Hossein Akbari. This was the start of a lifelong interest in rhythm and sound.

​

From 2008 to 2012, I had the privilege of living in India, where I was exposed to a rich diversity of rhythms. This experience had a lasting impact on my musical perspective, as I explored various rhythmic patterns from different cultures and began integrating them into my approach to playing the Tombak.

When I returned to Iran, I was fortunate to share what I'd learned by offering private lessons in Tombak and attending workshops with other respected Tombak masters in Tehran. My growing interest in rhythm led me to study other instruments, including the Frame Drum, Darbuka, and Riqq, under the guidance of the Master percussionist Yshai Afterman. 

Out of curiosity, I also taught myself to play several other instruments, such as the Cajón, Udu, and Handpan, which broadened my musical range.

​

In 2017, I moved to Switzerland, where I’ve had the opportunity to share my music with others through concerts and workshops. It’s been a humbling experience to connect with diverse audiences, and through every performance, I hope to foster a sense of unity and share the power of rhythm across cultures.
