I'm an ex-pat muso from Northern New England now based in the UK (how did I ever end up here?) . My interests are composition and improvisation and combinations of the two. Plus mildly obsessing about 2-wheeled conveyances and Beat poets. 

Bamdad Xosh (born Bamdad Khoshghadami Hosseini; October 10, 1983) is an Iranian-Austrian composer and arranger of jazz music based in Vienna. At 13, he started his journey into the music world with his first guitar lesson through his father. Five years later, Bamdad experienced his very first musical composition that led him to a considerable point, as he found his main interest in life. How incredible it could be when an orchestra embodies your ideas and brings them to birth. In 2013, Bamdad immigrated to Vienna (Austria) to expand his musical activities. In Vienna, he just developed his knowledge and compositional skills by learning from highly qualified and renowned composers. Jazz is not the only dimension of Bamdad's musical world. As a teenager, he was very enthusiastic and impressed by American Folk and Country music, in particular John Denver. This influence may be seen as a kind of lyricism and pacifism in his music.
