امیرعلی طاهری /

I was born July 15th 1978 in Tehran.

My life doesn’t have any meaning without music. My evident musical talent was firstly discovered at the age of 7 by my parents who encouraged me to attend music classes. I spent my youth focused on sport and piano until I discovered the drums at the age of 15.

Having been interested in music and especially drums, I decided to quit my formal education as a bachelor’s student in the field of civil engineering and pursue my life-time passion at the age of 20. So I started my professional career as a drummer and percussionist in 1998. I am proud to say that I have been cooperating with several reputable bands and also training several talented music student during the past 20 years.
