Meet Aref Jalayeri

Born in the culturally rich city of Mashhad, Iran on June 16, 1990, where my journey with music began amidst the echoes of childhood. From a young age, I found my calling in the resonant strings of the Dotar, an instrument that soon became an extension of my artistic expression.

My musical voyage is a reflection of my passion and unwavering dedication. As a folklore musician, vocalist, and skilled practitioner of the Dotar and Keyboard/Piano, I endeavor to immerse my audience in a blend of tradition and innovation.

My compositions are bridges that connect our past with our present, intertwining the East with the West in a harmonious embrace.

My recent projects involve leading and arranging in the realm of Persian folklore-pop music. Each performance is a fusion of deep cultural roots with a forward-thinking approach.
