Ardalan, a graphic designer by day, was born in 1976 in Iran, and started playing the piano when he was 8. He continued playing classical piano but became more and more fascinated with Jazz after he left Iran at the age of 17, and consequently taught himself Jazz theory and improvisation. Ardalan joined the prominent Iranian rock band Kiosk, and started learning the accordion when the band decided to incorporate gypsy jazz elements into their arrangements and instrumentation.
