Sena Valiani (Mohsen Rahnavard) Born in 1987 in Esfahan, Iran, I began my musical journey at the age of seven, starting with traditional Iranian vocal music. Over the years, my curiosity led me to explore traditional Iranian instruments, including the Setar and Tar. During my teenage years, my musical interests gradually expanded beyond traditional Iranian music. I became increasingly drawn to international genres, particularly orchestral music and jazz. At the age of sixteen, I picked up the guitar, an instrument that would become the foundation of my musical identity and shape much of my life. A few years later, I began teaching guitar and singing. Alongside teaching, I started recording and independently releasing music from time to time. These releases were often driven by personal expression and experimentation rather than a specific commercial goal or target audience. Creating and sharing music simply became a natural part of my life. At the age of thirty, I moved to Amsterdam, the Netherlands, where I continued teaching music while gradually exploring a new creative direction: technology. My growing interest in digital tools led me into the world of digital product design and development, allowing me to combine creativity, technical thinking, and problem-solving in a new professional path. Today, my journey moves between music, technology, and design — three disciplines that continue to influence the way I think, create, and approach the world.
