Shahriar was born in Ahvaz (Iran's south province) on January 28, 1964 (08, Bahman, 1342) and lived there until he was five.
He grew up in Ahvaz and Tehran. When Shahriar was about 10 years old he began to write poetry, and this was also about the same time that he made his first musical instrument - using a piece of wood, an old tin and some nylon fishing line.
He came to Germany in 1986 and studied economics at Mannheim University from 1992-1998. After completing his master's degree in economics he joined the US software company Computer Associates. Shahriar has also been active on the music scene since moving to Germany.
Shahriar's devotion to music in Germany
His first musical cooperation in Germany was with Arnold Pougliese from 1986 to 1988 (guitar and flute/saxophone). Together they played several gigs across Germany for international and German audiences.
Shahriar's first band, Harmonie was formed in Heidelberg in 1988 and featured three guitarists: Shahriar, Vaahaan and Farzaan. Both Vaahaan and Farzaad now live in the US.
Harmonie recorded and produced an album entitled "DIVAR". They sold about 750 copies of this album in Germany. Shahirar wrote all of the songs and lyrics (music style: classic pop and flamenco with bilingual lyrics in English and Persian).
His second band was formed in 1991 and was called Integrant Zero (0). They arranged, composed and recorded their own rock and pop music and played several gigs in Germany. The members of Integrant Zero were: Afshin Tahmasebi and Khodayar Bahmani (both also played with Khak) and Farugh Senturk on Bass (music style: abstract rock in English).
Shahriar's latest band was formed in 1995 and is called KHAK.
