I was born in 1985 in Iran. i live in where you have no idea how is to live in and grow as some one like me..
It’s all love here and "may I find" the same.
to me out of all the sounds around, music is the only one that i care to hear. An Unsane Emotion and Wisdom.it started to make sound out of me hitting the walls of life when i was 14.i love music as it is beautiful, and this is forbidden in "My Land”.
Following the weak narrow Rope of sound as 1 or 2 hidden cassettes under the closet for years and stick to the emotion until the time come. I may need to get out of this thick Glassy wall i live in that show me the hazy better looking outside, I may be going more wasted here every day that pass, but that wont change me to a fake lying copy of a soul, no matter how "fed up" i may be.
After going through many battle fields, built by my family and society, i could start getting in to it and started to play guitar at 17,and at the same time started my study in "Tehran Music Conservatory”,mostly to keep off the compulsory army service, and to find any possible existing musician. that is the best place to study music in Iran, and a Can of rotting young musicians too. As i was experiencing piano and progressing my songwriting abilities i started my first Alternative music band in 2004 when i was 19.my roll was song writing and playing guitar. it was quite a useful experience and progressed my live performance and songwriting abilities. my 1st band was disbanded in 2005 when i was 20 due to all the problems that musicians have within this society,no live act allowed,no music industry.no nothing.all illegal.
Why i kept up in a hell like this?
a moment that you live in joy and experience true emotions that a song i created had a role in is what i would care to collect. That "Genuine Sense” in me will never go numb.
that narrow Rope led me to create my second band which started one of the most important movement in Tehran modern music. we were invited by the "university of art" to perform in a private live festival in "Farabi Hall" for students and caught the special eyes and curious ears around ,which of unfortunately,though it was good news, would not lead to any where good cause the band was still in the same country and was an illegal act.At 22 in 2006, as i was finishing my studies, I had to leave my second band as my different taste of music was starting to show up, and started my own project under the name of "Sami", i take guitar, piano, Bass,& vocals. and right now what i do is Writing and Recording my songs, in my home studio in a PC sequencer ,cause i couldn't find any proper place with right peoples to record my music in my town, and it is another useful experience in some way!, but the engineering part is so not my part!,and the songs i have made,all DIY,are here for you to listen to.
.to know better where i am coming from,i love to share me in words too, i have feelings like: "When a Butterfly, break out of it's Cocoon, and Fly, is One of the most Magical and Beautiful moments of life”. and that needs a butterfly! .
I have tried to leave for a place with no restriction to music and art and was refused once, I'm 24, i am letting out any sound i have as loud as i can to make me able to get out and perform my self for the whole world and everyone's ears, and is it going to be hard cause my emotions recorded pieces and me will never attract any one who makes money out of driving peoples sex appeal! ? but i know that; right at each moment, one can give love to the other, out of all the other things, that attention turns to love, and wisdom. There are places that you don't know your favorite flower is grown there, your favorite song been made in, that you have no idea how it sounds, smells like, growing. Lands that you have no idea about, which exist on the same, melting,polluted,abused planet,yet powerful(to shake the dirt?) and beautiful(for how long?) that you live in, they may be the lands you are condemned to, places you would never give a damn to care about, and birds that sing like no other may be there. and all maybe so imprisoned, struggling to get out and yet keep being true.
i like to say things like: "and no matter how dark the water be, you can still see your reflect in it with a little bit of light above”.!, and that needs the light.
i will never forget how amazing is to FLY.
i may burn in a desert and no one see the fire, no one join me in the celebration, but i wont die a body full of dead warmth, or Grey ashes that blow away,nor I would live that way.
