Called “one of the wonders of world trance music” by the Los Angeles Times, Mamak Khadem draws from her roots in the ancient poetry and music of the Persian masters, creating a bold and revolutionary new sound.   Co-founder and longtime lead vocalist of the acclaimed world fusion ensemble Axiom of Choice, the powerful Tehran-born singer has created a vibrant body of work that she hopes will inspire a deeper appreciation for cultural diversity in general, and for Persian arts in particular at a time when the great beauty of Iran’s culture is too often eclipsed by its present-day politics.
 
The classically trained Khadem has studied her art extensively in both Iran and the United States. Her latest work, A Window To Color, is a conceptual album of eight original compositions inspired by the poetry of Iran’s late, gifted poet and artist, Sohrab Sepehri.  Her expressive, moving voice has been heard on numerous film and television scores. Khadem tours and performs globally, and resides in Los Angeles, where she teaches classical Persian music and conducts workshops which incorporate singing, meditation and movement
