Born on February 12, 1976, in Tehran, Iran and growing up in Sweden, Shahryar Rumi started playing the piano at the age of 11 and has become a Persian pop artist. Shahryar’s love for the arts does not stop with music. His interest in architectural monuments resulted in him earning a degree in architectural design and business from a highly respected university in Miami, Florida — yet he never took his eyes off of his inner passion for music. In 2002, while working in his professional field of architectural designs in Southern California, Shahryar signed a contract with Hassan Shamaizadeh, one of the most respected songwriters and producers of Persian pop music. SHAHRYAR’S LATEST CONCERT TOUR: The Tale of Rumi concert series is written, directed and performed by Shahryar, featuring a 20 piece orchestra, where you will experience the immersion of Eastern spiritual philosophy merging with western fusion-style music. The Tale of Rumi concert series is inspired by the life of the great poet and philosopher Rumi. Shahryar’s modern and westernized style of music delivers Rumi’s message, which has touched the hearts of millions of people from all walks of life by spreading the message of love. To date, Shahryar has performed in most major cities from Paris to Los Angeles.
