Tehran-born singer, multi-instrumentalist and composer Sanam Tahmasebi began her musical journey at a young age studying classical guitar, fueled by a deep passion for music and artistic exploration. Her musical training spanned continents, with studies in Iran, Italy, the Netherlands and the U.S. This led to a bachelor’s degree in classical guitar, a bachelor’s degree in jazz voice and a master’s degree in jazz composition.
This rich and diverse background allowed her to forge a unique musical identity. Sanam’s music transcends genres; it is a constant exploration, fusing traditional Persian influences with jazz, contemporary, improvisation, experimental sounds and electronic compositions.
For the past ten years, she has been active in the Dutch music scene, performing at festivals such as Into the Great Wide Open and Oerol. She has also collaborated with makers and companies such as Club Guy & Roni, Het Houten Huis, Hi-Lo, Het Kanaal and Gaja Caruso.
