      Shahin Shahbazi was born in Tehran and became the apprentice of Ostad Dariush Talai at an early age. Later he learned and worked with some of the most famous masters of Iranian music like Mohammad-Reza Lotfi, Manouchehr Sahbaei, Hossein Dehlavi, Farhad Fakhredini and Houshang Zarif.
      In 2002 he founded the Nafir Ensemble. His most famous composition with Nafir ensemble is the recording of Shahnazi's complete Radif work.
