Shahin Shahida is
Shahin Shahida is a Persian American musician, composer, and producer known for blending East and Western melodies and instruments.
While attending Tehran International School, during the 1970s, Shahin was exposed to Western music through jam sessions and albums shared by friends. This cultural fusion shaped his unique musical style, which gained prominence with his world music duo Shahin and Sepehr, known for their eclectic mix of diverse global melodies.
Over the past 12 years, Shahin has co-produced with acclaimed guitarist Lawson Rollins, whose music has consistently topped the charts. Their latest collaboration achieved remarkable success, reaching No. 1 on Billboard’s Contemporary Jazz chart.
In addition to touring with his own bands, Shahin continues to record and produce innovative music, bridging cultures through sound.
"Mercurial melodies flow from Shahin's rich-toned acoustic and electric guitars - clearly reflecting the sinuous filigrees of the oud."
