Overview
Davod Azad is a virtuoso Vocalist, Composer, Instrumentalist Musician originally from Iran. His musical source is from the classical Iranian modal system (Dastgah) and the Tradition (regional) Maqam musical form.
His music brings the ecstatic joy that is experienced by Sufi's and all spiritual seekers on stage! His music speaks the universal language of Love and Unity for all mankind. In this way during his performances he becomes a channel to convey this message to all people present that Humanity is One and as a result it creates harmony to all people regardless of their background and ethnicity.
Davod Azad is also involved in musical collaborative works with western as well as eastern musicians and his latest work is Sufi music with Blues music. In Sufi path, it is believed that a true seeker must live in harmony with all people in whichever society he/she is living in. Therefore, Davod is always seeking to work with new talents and other musical forms. This makes Davod's music always refreshingly new and contemporary even though it takes its root from a very ancient civilization!
