Hi, my name is Babak. I am a film and music composer, producer, performer, and music therapist from Iran.
I began learning music at the age of nine under difficult circumstances. At that time, playing music was restricted, so I had to hide my instrument to avoid problems. Despite this, I continued my training with determination.
Later, I moved to the Netherlands to pursue my musical education. I studied at the Prince Claus Conservatory in Groningen and at HKU in Utrecht, where I was able to develop my work freely.
My compositions have received international recognition, including an award for Best Music for a Short Film at the Unheard Festival (Netherlands), and a nomination at the 16x9 Festival in New York. Alongside my artistic work, I am trained in music therapy and have worked with refugees, using music as a tool for expression, connection, and emotional support. Today, I create intercultural projects that combine my background with new musical languages, exploring connections between traditions and contemporary sound. Feel free to explore my work and get in touch if you have any questions or would like to collaborate.
