Roger's film score credits include 2018's A Night Like This, by director Frank Battaglia, and 2015's Equity, directed by Andrew Donato. Roger's first opera, Potentialite, premiered in July 2019.

✨ Hi! I'm Kamran, but my friends call me Morgan ✨  

A little about me—my life began with an auspicious birth on one of the coldest nights ever recorded in Wausau, Wisconsin ❄️🌙. I've been producing music, engineering tracks, and perfecting vocals for clients for over six years 🎶. Along the way, I’ve had the honor of working with Cincinnati Ballet, Washington Ballet, San Francisco Ballet, the Walt Disney Family Museum, SONY, and JAKE Atelier Fashion, among others.  

💿 In 2020, I founded Zenith Flare Records in San Francisco after realizing that artists working with labels often have to give up partial or total ownership of their music. Not anymore, folks! 🚀 Since then, I’ve produced and engineered music for some amazing artists!—like Miraaj, Valli Mob, Nikuli, Helena of Troy, and myself under the artist names Apadravya and KXMRXN. In 2024, I transplanted ZFR to Wausau, WI 🌲🏡.  

🎭 My career took off when I won a competition during my undergrad at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music to produce music for an apprentice choreographer at the San Francisco Ballet School. Overseeing the choreography workshop was none other than the critically acclaimed choreographer & former SFB soloist, Dana Genshaft. This moment led to a lasting collaboration, resulting in works for San Francisco Ballet, Cincinnati Ballet, and Washington Ballet. 🎶  

🌀 In 2019, I was awarded the prestigious Sky High Grant, which took me to Burning Man, where I performed a live electronic healing sound bath 🌌🎛️ at Comfort & Joy’s Blacklight Temple. You can check out my video portfolio of these projects at the bottom of this bio 🎥👇.
