At the center of Niyaz’s music is the spellbinding voice of Iranian born, Indian raised, Azam Ali, a two time nominee of the prestigious Canadian JUNO Award whose otherworldly singing has been featured in many major Hollywood film and television soundtracks such as “The Matrix-Revolutions”, “Prince of Persia”, “Thor - The Dark World,” “True Blood,” "Alias,” and "Prison Break.”
Founded in 2004 by Iranian born, Indian raised vocalist/ composer Azam Ali, and Iranian multi-instrumentalist/ composer Loga R. Torkian, Niyaz has created a 21st century global trance tradition by seamlessly blending medieval Sufi poetry and ancient folk songs from their native Iran and its surrounding countries in the Persian Gulf, with rich acoustic instrumentation and state-of-the-art modern electronics.
Today with four best selling and critically acclaimed albums released on Six Degrees Records, all of which have debuted at #1 on iTunes and garnered the band an incredible amount of media attention including features on NPR, The BBC World, Huffington Post, MTV Iggy and PRI, Niyaz continues to tour internationally and build on its impressive and loyal fan base worldwide.
On stage, Niyaz is comprised of three additional world-class musicians as well as a female Whirling Dervish.
