I was born in a Zoroastrians family in Tehran, Iran. Ever since I was a teenager my most favorite hobby was music, even though at the time listening to music in Iran was a crime I started to archive at a very young age. Soon the word got around at the Zoroastrian community. I was asked to DJ at parties, weddings and other community events during the late 80’s and early 90’s. As my DJ-ing career progressed in Iran I started to archive more and more. Today I have more than ninety percent of all the Iranian singers in my archive. I was able to bring my entire collection to the US when I left Iran. Some of the albums are from such old or rare singers that only a few if any would have them.

Today my archive goes well beyond just Iranian music. It includes the top 40’s, Oldies, 70’s, 80’s, R&B, Hip Hop, Pop, Latin, Arabic and just about any international music you can ask for.
