Sepideh Raissadat

Persian classical vocalist and musician Sepideh Raissadat recorded her first album at the age of 18 with Master Parviz Meshkatian. To her credit, Sepideh was the first female vocalist to have a solo public performance in Iran, in 2000.

With such a dynamic beginning, and having studied with many of the musical greats – such as Parisa, Parviz Meshkatian and Mohammad-Reza Lotfi – Sepideh continued her musical studies at the University of Bologna, in Italy. This led to numerous performances in Europe, notably with Italian musicians Franco Battiato, Andrea Parodi and Ensemble Maraghi. She has since garnered many invitations by prestigious institutions, including UNESCO, the Vatican and international media such as BBC and RAI.

With three critically acclaimed CDs of her own and guest appearances on numerous albums, she is currently based in Toronto, continuing her academic studies in Ethnomusicology at the University of Toronto.
