About Me

My name's Erik Dehkhoda, (pronouced "Dakota). "I'm 5'11", Hazel eyes (green during the day). We live in the land of false portrayal these days so let's just say it like it is. I'm born and raised in Hollywood and I work in the Film Industry. I'm an artist which evolved to a VFX Supervisor and eventually turned into a Producer, years of hard integral work. I'm also a drummer for an LA band. I'm just your average dude pursuing dreams. I like to build foundations and I'm lucky enough to have good friends and I keep my faith in the "Natural Flow" scenario where the right things happen at the right time.
I do alot of painting and illustration in my spare time. I've spent about 9 years of my life in Europe, school, work, etc. so I can argue with you in several languages. I love adventure. I've been to the Arctic Circle and I also spent a year living on a small island off the West coast of Africa. I didn't find true love there, but I got to experience a locust swarm. Lot's of stories to tell. Big deal, I'm not the only person that's ever traveled abroad, but I've been back home where I belong for a few years now. There are many more places I would like to see and hopefully will in time.
I love the outdoors, hiking, biking, blading, boarding, etc. I also love getting cozy on a couch and watching good movies and having my arm pulled out of it's socket when the movie gets scary. I love to drink wine with friends in festive environments and I love to dance. Last minute trips to Vegas or the mountains are a must!
I'm German and Swedish and darn proud of it! ..

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

You know what??? I've pretty much left this up to the Cosmos at this point. Why don't you tell me! ;-) I'd like be blown away by someone who can speak their mind without any bullshit!
I've been through enough, only good times from here on out.

I've actually been to a few more places than I dare mention here, but they were friggen horrid and for whatever reason the Universe chose for me to make it back home safely.

In the know of good souls

Laying the drum tracks onto the time line, I've played the beats enough times to know them by heart now, Recording the bass lines over the beats while hearing the sound of guitars I wrote in my mind...

Traumhaft Dreams (new song)

I see you following me on my path, I remember you, I pursued you once and I felt determined, but you slightly faded away, Now you're here again and I feel you, this place where I exist is happy to h...

My guitar is singing out new colors of which I've never been able to play before, The cats are sitting around me all flopped over each other as I strum away on the couch, The old lava lamp...
