EHSAN IMANI
Art Director, Artist, and Photographer in Iran
During the years, I used the skills and knowledge I had gained to help other musicians. I used various online platforms to interact with other musicians, in which I managed to work with some renown international musicians and music bands, such as Epica, and Amorphis. I have also participated in some domestic and international music contests and won a number of these competitions. I offered many services to Iranian artists, either producing their music free of charge or advising them on how to do that with minimum investments. I have also provided a number of free public courses, for those who could not afford it. I encouraged many musicians to form groups and bands. Since I have been working with many musicians in Iran, I could easily spot bands with empty slots for new members and introduce sole musicians to join them. I have tried to show musicians how to use online platforms to collaborate with others, and promote themselves internationally.
As a result, my name went into a variety of well-known music-based websites such as “Bravewords” and “TotalRock”. I managed to sign artist contracts with different international music companies such as Mayones Guitars. I was appointed as a judge in various music competitions such as “Revexon Contest”. Also, evaluated the winners of an international music contest held by “Mayones Guitars”, based on the company’s request.
My achievements have paved the way for a considerable number of rock musicians in Iran. They finally noticed that it is possible to pursue Rock music as their main career. I have been receiving many messages from musicians asking me for help. Musicians would fly to my city, Mashhad, to get their music produced by me. I have been commissioned from all over the country, and a few from overseas. It has been a few years that the limitations of Rock music have been reduced by our government due to the higher sound quality of today’s Rock music of Iran, and my name is behind the most of those Rock releases.
