Danny was born in Tehran-Iran and at age 16 began
learning the guitar from his roommate while living in Israel. For three years,
Danny continued to practice pop and play lead guitar in Israel, using
self-training methods. Then, he immigrated to the U.S. and started to study in
lead guitar, rhythm, blues, and rock. He played in an American rock band called
“Dominoteri.” In 1988, Danny gravitated toward Classical and Flamenco guitar
through a musician friend, Homayun Shapoori. Then he took lessons from several
guitar masters such as Masestro Vicente Gomez and Bonito Palacios. In 1998, he
started playing Tar and learning Persian traditional music under Pirayeh
Poorafar and Ahmad Rahmanipoor’s guidance.

Farid was
born in Tehran-Iran. He was introduced to music at age eight when he started to
play keyboard. Having played keyboard for four years he began playing guitar at
age twelve. Later on he got acquainted to classical music under the direct
supervision of Garnik Ohaninan, his great guitar instructor. With the knowledge
he gained and skills he built up by both playing keyboard and the extensive
training of his guitar instructor, he soon began to construct his own melodies
under the influence of three different styles: classical, flamenco and
Mediterranean. After his migration to the U.S. Farid continued practicing his
passion extensively until he met Danny. Finally, the two music scavengers
decided to create and establish a new version of fusion music, which is a
combination of Classical, Flamenco, Rock, Blues and Mediterranean.
