BEHIND THE MUSIC
Creating his own road is how Los Angeles Based composer Mehdi found his way from traditional Classical and Jazz to an unexpected career twist over 2 decades ago. As one of the most successful creators of contemporary instrumental music, he transcended "new age" labels to establish himself as the best-selling creator of Instrumental Imagery Volume 3 (which was No. 1 on the alternative/new age chart for 11 consecutive weeks).
Mehdi has been playing the Piano since he could reach the keys and started his performing career in the 1980s working behind the scenes on numerous Feature Films, Discovery Channel, Nova and National Geographic Documentaries until he "stumbled" onto a different path in the mid 1990s.
