A CA born 1st generation American, Alexander was raised on "sonati" folk Persian music. Classically trained by Vahid-Reza Bayat in the lineage of Maestro Darvish-Khan and Maestro Lotfi.
Alexander uses the foundations of Persian music "Radif" modal systems and with his distinguished sound, uniquely incorporates them with electronic soundscapes to induce trance states and a deep sense of heart presence in listeners. These ancient modal systems and melodies are a science of the heart, which Alexander hopes to continue introducing to western ears. 
The Persian Tar is a Spiritual tool. His music has become his Yoga (union), and with nicknaming his instrument "Tara", has established himself in "TaraYoga".
