Finishing primary and secondary education, he studied architecture and engaged in graphic designing.

In 1969, he entered a singing festival in Mikhak-e Noghre-yi (Silver Carnation), a TV show which was performed by Fereydoon Farrokhzad and broadcast on Iran's national television for the first time, and won the competition.

In 1981, two years after the Islamic Revolution, he left Iran for the United States and settled in Los Angeles.

He continued his artistic activities in the United States attending Iranian folk music and despite financial pressures, recorded two albums called "Dayeh Dayeh" ("nanny nanny") and "Anar Anar" ("pomegranate"), both of which were well received by the Iranian society.

His last album named "Sepasgozar" ("the grateful") published on the occasion of the 40s year of his artistic activity.
