He studied Persian music composition at the Tehran Conservatory of Music, learning Santoor under the mentorship of legendary masters such as Parviz Meshkatian, Ardavan Kamkar, and Milad Kiaei. His deep understanding of Persian Radif comes from his studies with Majid Kiani and Dariush Pirniakan, while his grasp of music theory was shaped by Parviz Mansouri, and composition under Mohamad Saaed. He also explored the profound relationship between poetry and music with Shahram Nazeri.
Mayssam has performed widely across Iran, Turkey, France, Tajikistan, Armenia, the Netherlands, and the UK, presenting Persian classical music with a fresh perspective while remaining faithful to its rich and timeless roots.
As the leader of Caravan Ensemble, Mayssam curates performances that blend tradition and subtle modern interpretations.
