Shahram Etemadi Rad, professionally known as Sharman Rad, is a Musician artist and Pop Classic singer. He was born on May 14, 1976, in Iran. Music has always been a mainspring in Sharman Rad's life. When he was ten, his beloved grandmother gave him a small piano keyboard. It was then that Sharman Rad discovered his passion and started pursuing his life-long love of melody. He began taking professional piano lessons at the age of 14 with sincere devotion. After grasping classic science of music, Sharman Rad became fascinated with stringed instruments, especially the violin. In 1992, Sharman Rad set out to take violin lessons with the great Armenian instructor "Zaven Yedigarian" with much persistence. Yearning for mental liberation, the musician spends a good deal of time in nature. Being in nature gives Sharman Rad the freedom to express the inexpressible in his music. He believes the whole nature is vibration. Making spontaneous music that is inspired by nature is very connecting. It helps us become present, and that is a gift.

Sharman Rad began his career starring in the 1989 film "The Ball" directed by Yadollah Noasri. It was then that he realized he also had acting talent. He gained attention in a theater festival by making his first background music for the play "The Beach" in 1999. Sharman Rad's zeal for composing and arranging dramatic music brought the budding artist to even higher levels of success. In those years, musicians in Iran weren't appreciated much, so Sharman Rad had to pause his musical activities for a while. He majored in the field of software engineering and achieved a high level of skill in that field as well. Sharman Rad says, "the programming codes played the role of musical notes for me."

After migrating to Europe, Sharman Rad decided to resume his music activities. He released several singles featuring singers from France and Germany. Sharman Rad reflects ongoing social and political issues in his music. His piece *Requiem*, featuring "Eszter Vegvari" and "Allen Anthony" with the opening narration by "Tim Stephenson", is inspired by the war between Russia and Ukraine and how common people were involved in political conflicts and ambitions. Another piece with a similar content is *Unity*, the song Sharman Rad composed following the political unrest in Iran and performed in Hamburg. The orchestra was directed by Eric Hartman, the German musician. Since 1996, he has been taking lessons in vocal techniques, voicing, and opera singing with the tenor Maestro "Giancarlo Monslave".

Sharman Rad follows global ideas. He is fascinated by the music of nations. Sharman Rad's music doesn't target a specific audience, but the whole of humanity with any belief or culture.
