His mother taught him music when he was 9 and he started to play kemancheh when he was 11. He started to perform professionally at concerts and festivals in Iran with various music ensembles when he was 14. He studied kemancheh under two masters Saeed Farajpoori and Ahmad Mirhashemi. Later he studied under supervision of ostad Majid Kiani which was a significant turning point in his life. Later he became a member of the music ensemble “Center for Preservation and Research of Iranian Music.”
