Biography and career

Soroush Omoumi was born on 7 February, 1988 in Tehran. Since his father was an aspiring musician, Soroush got interested in music as a child, beginning with drums and percussion. Being talented in rhythm and music in general, Soroush spent his childhood learning how to play instruments, mostly self-taught and occasionally helped by his father.

Encouraged by his family, he entered Tehran Music School at the age of twelve, where the flute was assigned his specialized instrument and began learning how to play it under the instruction of Mohammad-Ali Legha (محمدعلی لقاء).

Being instructed by the Music School’s masters for six years, Soroush proved one of the best players, finishing first for several times in competitions. He took part in a number of contests and festivals, including Fajr International Music Festival, National Festival of Youth Music, and Municipality Music Festival, often getting first or second places.[1]

Also keenly interested in playing instruments other than the flute, while studying at the Music School, Soroush took lessons in playing drums under the instruction of Houman Ghaffari (هومن غفاری), a famous player. Soroush taught himself in playing percussion, saxophone, piccolo, whistle, and recorder too. Towards graduating from the Music School, Soroush started working with various music groups and orchestras (classical, pop, rock, etc.).

After getting a diploma in music, he engaged more professionally in working with greater groups and more professional players, while teaching music. Having done his military service, he entered Music University, while continuing his professional activities.

Soroush has played in numerous concerts around Iran and in a few other countries.

After graduating from the University of Applied Science and Technology in Iran, in 2011 he went to London to continue his studies and was accepted into Middlesex University.[2] There he attended various classes and workshops held by internationally renowned figures of music.
