    Biography

    Mamak Khadem has walked many roads in her remarkable life, from her childhood and youth in Tehran during a critical juncture in Iranian history, and her longtime work as an educator, to her acclaimed career as a singer, composer, and devoted advocate for cultural diversity, appreciation of Persian cultural traditions, and human rights. Called "one of the wonders of world trance music" by the Los Angeles Times, she has stunned audiences with her striking blend of classical Persian vocal style with diverse contemporary musical influences. While still teaching, she became a founding member of Axiom of Choice, the first Iranian fusion band to form abroad, who opened the way for subsequent musicians working in the style. Signed by Narada at Virgin Associated Labels/EMI, the band released three albums -- Beyond Denial (Faray-e Enkaar) (1996), Niya Yesh (2000), and Unfolding (Goshayesh) (2002).
