Back in Iran he was exposed to various forms of native folk music that caught his ear. He claims that it wasn’t so much the melodies that interested him but the beats that had an impact on the listener. In 1990 Reza invested all his money to start his notoriously massive record collection. He purchased almost every genre of sound from rock, hip-hop to soul. One year later, he started spinning housey soul-funk hip-hop which earned him a residency by the age16 at an illegal club named ‘Funk House’ in Gothenburg Sweden. In the mid-90’s, Reza started a buzz which he then traveled throughout Scandinavia playing at clubs. In 1997 he moved back to Malmö and opened Street Records shop that focused mainly on dance and urban style music. At this time he went into the studio and started producing with old friends. Reza then closed his shop and worked at Folk Rock (south Sweden’s best record store); focused only on DjÃng and found his talent as a promoter as well. Over the years that followed till the present, he has been and still is responsible for a majority of south Sweden’s biggest and most important happenings in dance and urban music history..
