Play

My musical interests include ancient melodies, irregular patterns, and impromptu jam sessions. I play Daf and Tombak semi-professionally and Tar, Setar, and Tanbur at a hobbyist level. Since 2000, I've been periodically performing live. I've had the privilege of performing at renowned venues such as The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Barbican Centre, and Queen Elizabeth Hall.
