Arash left Iran with a rucksack and a harmonica that he didn't even know how to play, but he just needed music. He has experienced restrictions on his musical expression in different circumstances, both in Iran and in England. Arash blends blues with Iranian folk and finds that when language is a barrier, music can easily connect him to people.
