Amirali

Biography

Amirali Shahrestani’s journey has taken him from living in Iran to Toronto to London where he now resides, via an architecture degree. Growing up in the city of Tehran, and starting piano lessons from the age of 5, Amirali’s main musical influence was his father’s record collection, which opened his eyes to classical, jazz, blues and rock'n'roll. At the age of 16 Amirali’s family immigrated to Toronto in the hope of a better future. Amirali’s musical prowess wasn’t picked up on until he transferred his architecture university studies to London in 2010.

The debut single of his career, 'My Way', was made the introductory track on Damian Lazarus’ visionary compilation CD « Get Lost 4 » . This was quickly followed by the hit single release ‘Beautiful World’ which reared its head in January 2012 and the album 'In Time'
