SHAHRYAR WAS BORN IN TEHRAN, IRAN AND GREW UP IN EUROPE; HE STARTED PLAYING THE PIANO FROM THE AGE OF 11 AND WAS MESMERIZED AND TAKEN BY THE POWER OF MUSIC. HIS FIRST CONCERT WAS IN FRONT OF 300 PEOPLE AT THE AGE OF 14 IN SWEDEN, THE EXPERIENCE OF BEING ABLE TO TOUCH PEOPLE’S HEART IN SUCH A REMARKABLE WAY RESULTED IN HIS DECISION TO BECOME ONE WITH MUSIC AND HE KNEW THERE AND THAN, THAT HE WAS GOING TO PURSUE THIS NEW DREAM. SHAHRYAR’S INTEREST AND LOVE FOR THE ART DOES NOT STOP WITH MUSIC. HIS PASSION AND INTEREST IN ARCHITECTURAL MONUMENTS RESULTED IN A DEGREE IN ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN AND BUSINESS FROM A HIGHLY RESPECTED UNIVERSITY IN MIAMI, FLORIDA. THROUGHOUT THIS ERA, SHAHRYAR NEVER TOOK HIS EYES OF HIS INNER AND MOST BURNING PASSION: MUSIC. BY 2002 SHAHRYAR HAD SIGNED A CONTRACT WITH ONE OF THE MOST RESPECTED SONGWRITERS AND PRODUCERS OF PERSIAN POP MUSIC HASSAN SHAMAEIZADEH. IN 2004, SHAHRYAR’S DEBUT ALBUM, (SWEET BEGINNING) WAS FINALLY RELEASED AND THE RECEPTION OF HIM AND HIS CLASSY MUSIC THROUGH OUT THE WORLD WAS INDESCRIBABLE. SHAHRYAR BROKE MOST RECORDS SET BY NEW ARTISTS AND EVEN THOUGH THE ROAD TO SWEET BEGINNING WAS VERY LONG AND TOUGH, HE STARTED WORKING ON HIS SECOND ALBUM IMMEDIATELY. IN 2005, SHAHRYAR RELEASED ANOTHER HIT ALBUM BY THE NAME OF PARSEH; ONCE AGAIN THE COLLABORATION WITH THE BEST LYRICIST, SONGWRITERS AND ARRANGERS RESULTED IN RECORD-BREAKING NUMBERS OF ALBUMS SOLD. IN 2006, SHAHRYAR RELEASED HIS THIRD ALBUM BY THE NAME OF NAJI; THE ALBUM WAS A TESTIMONY TO EVERYONE THAT THIS WAS NOT JUST LUCK AND THAT GREAT WORK AND TALENT WAS BEHIND THE SUCCESS OF ANOTHER HIT ALBUM BY SHAHRYAR. SHAHRYAR’S NEW ALBUM SARAB WAS RELEASED ON FALL OF 2007 AND IS DESTINED TO BE ANOTHER MAJOR HIT ALBUM BY THIS ENERGETIC AND YOUNG ARTIST. SHAHRYAR STARTED TOURING THE WORLD AFTER HIS FIRST ALBUM AND HAS BEEN GREETED WITH AMAZING RECEPTION; HE IS NOW PLANNING ANOTHER WORLD TOUR AFTER THE RELEASE OF SARAB. Read more on Last.fm.
