Sina Vodjani,
Sina Vodjani, son of a French mother and a Persian father, is a musical ambassador between the Orient and the West. His message is spiritual - conveyed by prayers and sounds gathered from all over the world. Born in Isfahan (Iran) in 1954, he grew up in Tehran, San Francisco and Paris and was introduced to a life influenced by a rich variety of different cultures from his early childhood. He was still very young when he first started taking singing and guitar lessons, and later, in Germany, he studied piano and composition as well as classical and flamenco guitar.

Sina was prompted to take an interest in scriptures from various religions by an unexpected mystical experience, and over the years, he has acquired further considerable knowledge in a variety of fields - including Qi-Gong, traditional Chinese medicine, yoga and shamanism; all of these have an influence on his work as a creative artist. His creative work is not limited to just music but takes in a number of fields; as a professional photographer, he captures impressive snapshots, photos of landscapes and portraits - and not only on his travels. As a painter, his works have been exhibited in Paris, Hamburg and other parts of Northern Germany. Sina's unrelenting quest for new sources of inspiration has taken him to many countries, of which India, Nepal, Tibet and Iran have a crucial influence on his art and music. Sina is recognised today as an artist who manages to melt together traditional Oriental influences, modern grooves and the prayer chants of Buddhist priests with international musicians into a unique cosmos of sound. An album was created in a similar fashion following a journey to Iran, the land of his birth, inspired by the teachings of the Persian prophet Zoroaster (also known as Zarathustra). All these productions were created in Sina Vodjani's own modern hi-tech recording studio in Hamburg, the composer bringing together a solid knowledge of recording technology, computer programming and spirituality. A fascinating conglomeration of guitars, exotic instruments and synthesizers demonstrate what is important to him: creating a link between the worlds. His projects, an essence of the analysis of different cultures and religions, are not finished when the last note has been recorded - Sina then sits down once again at the computer, but this time his creativity flows into artistic layouts for the design of the CD and booklet artwork. Sina says: 'In a way I'm a shaman - for a shaman travels from one world to another.'
