Vas was an alternative world musical group which consisted of Persian vocalist Azam Ali and American percussionist Greg Ellis.
After the group's last album, Feast of Silence, Ali and Ellis went their own separate ways.
Azam Ali was born in Iran and moved to Los Angeles, California, in 1985, where she began studying the dulcimer-like santur under the guidance of Manoochehr Sadeghi.
Greg Ellis was born and raised in Los Gatos, California, where he first learned to play the drums at age twelve.
The two musicians met at UCLA in 1995 after hearing each other perform; they formed Vas shortly thereafter.
