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. She found her powerful voice early on, singing with the Children's Choir for National Radio and Television in Iran. But it wasn't until after the Iranian Revolution, before which she'd already emigrated to the U.S. as a teenager in 1977, that her passion for singing ignited and she began to pursue a musical path in earnest. While studying for her master's degree in applied mathematics at CSULB, Khadem took on her first teaching job. 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. The band released three albums -- Beyond Denial (Faray-e Enkaar) (1996), Niya Yesh (2000), and Unfolding (Goshayesh) (2002). Today, Mamak teaches classical Persian music in Los Angeles as well as conducting workshops for non-musicians that incorporate singing, meditation, and movement. Her new album REMEMBRANCE, is her fourth release and the first in her new signing with Six Degrees Records. It is a powerfully deep and loving tribute to her late father. Written in the isolation of her Santa Monica home during the COVID pandemic as her beloved father lived out his final days back in Iran, with Mamak unable to travel to be by his side, the album's sense of beauty, separation, and loss is profound. Guest appearances by Chris Martin (Coldplay) and the venerable Rumi scholar Coleman Barks enhance the first single, "Across the Oceans,” but the power of Mamak's voice and the pure depth of her poignant emotional expression are what truly set this entire recording apart.
