Biography
Reza is a multi-instrumentalist composer and producer raised in London and living in Los Angeles. Before working in film he was a songwriter and record producer/engineer with work spanning from pop to underground. He has toured with Destiny's Child and worked with artists as diverse as Dr. Dre, Britney Spears, and underground UK rapper Akala.
His influences are a tapestry of romantic era classical music such as Debussy and Satie, Hip Hop, minimalist techno, and shamanistic music. His textured approach fuses orchestra with contemporary production, exploring soundscape as much as harmony and melding the two to serve the image in a tactile way.
In addition to his passion for music, Reza is a fan of martial arts and a dedicated yoga practitioner, inspired by the great violinist/conductor Yehudi Menuhin who was a student of B.K.S Iyengar, the legendary founder of Iyengar Yoga. Menuhin's interest in yoga and Eastern culture informed his connection to music and spirituality, and Reza is a student on the same meditative path, connecting the dots between Daoism and counterpoint.
