Bio
Navid Fashami (Born March 23, 1982)
Iranian Filmmaker/FilmComposer
He started composing by songwriting from the age of sixteen. Having entered the Faculty of Cinema, which made him acquainted with drama, rhythm and scene aestheticism, then he decided to compose film score.
Navid learned musical literacy (history and composing) with Peyman Soltani, Mehran Rouhani, Vartan Sahakian and followed film score with the late Babak Bayat, and Alexandre Desplat.
Also he collaborated in release of the album Trio Minus One (2007) with a track called Gray as Winter.
“Meanwhile, I not only love songwriting but I also love festooning films with music. Besides, if there is a word to be said, I would love to picture it, that to be able to make my existence lighter, smoother and more colorful.”
