From his early childhood in Tehran, Andy's life has been a study in contrasts. His father built roads, yet the family had no car. They were beyond poor - nine people living in a small one-room house but his mother’s careful management kept food on the table and enabled his parents to put six children through school. Their house was filled with love, laughter, and most importantly for Andy, music.
As Andy was beginning to explore his musical roots, his native land began to broil with turbulence. The Islamic Revolution under the new religious leadership brought civil war and Andy made the decision to leave Iran. The revolution has made it impossible for Andy to perform in his native country because of the governmental ban on Persian pop music recorded outside the country.
