I got my guitar playing style and music making from him and I often do my best to make my guitar tone sound like him and shred like him. In the beginning he got influenced by classical field's masters such as Vivaldi and Bach, since he'd already started playing violin by the time he was just 7, and guitar a bit later at the age of eleven. His main guitar influence was helloween, He then became interested in more extreme, mainly black metal. By 1999 he considered that his main influences lay with classic metal bands like manowar, judas priest and W.A.S.P He formed his band at 1996, called "Children of Bodom" and they realeased their first debute album at 1997.

I was born in a very restrictive city in Iran, where due to government suppressions metal music is prohibited and almost completely banned. In addition, people show not much of an interest in it, given religious limitations. I got my first instrument at the age of 10 and it was a calssical guitar that I didnt play it much, one could even argue that I despised it but as soon as I got 13 I bought my first drums set and fell in love with playing drums and two years later I got my bass and finaly at the age of 17 I got my first electric guitar that is a significant seires of my biggest influencer, Alexi Laiho. My music journey began by practicing and playing heavy metal songs with drums and after a while I found myself being fascinated by classical music, so it didn't take me long to start writing classical pieces for drums and that effected my playing style in other instrumnets as well. In my art I try to put some neoclassical elements and at the same time heavy and melodic leads and rythms. I created an EP regarding my sorrow, expressing the depressive times I went through back in Iran. And I used atmospheric elements on it and harsh vocals. The composing and mixing I did myself, while the vocals were performed by a friend of mine. In my new songs I put some Alexi Laiho style of playing lead and some Joey Jordison style of playing drums.
