About Me

I do lots of things, that's why I have 2 names: Dr. Pepper and Farshad.
I play psychodelic jazz piano and nice guy pop songs, I'm a slam poet and I love calculus so I'm starting a few business projects. Otherwise, I'm a simple man:
I just want to live out of a backpack for the next 3 years and go around the world teaching and studying yoga. Until then, I'm writing, performing and producing music and videos.
My personal website FarshadRezai.com is still under construction, but there are more than enough links and materials scattered online if you're interested in getting to know me.
Follow the links, check out a blog. Welcome to my universe.

My Interests

Building a utopic island community, internet commerce, educating the youth, learning to heal myself and others and finishing my book "Yoga Hiphop and The Mind"

I'd like to meet:

Artists and free thinkers, yogis, poets, ganstas, programmers.
If you are interested in productions or getting your music distributed hit up my partner Jack at myspace.com/giveuprecords .
