Mehran Matin (Persian: مهران متین) is an Iranian artist, music producer and multi-instrumentalist. He is best known for his GRAMMY-nominated collaboration "Hope & Love" with Ugandan artist Eddy Kenzo.[1][2][3][4][5]

Matin was born in Sirjan, Kerman Province, Iran, on 25 March 1996 and spent his youth in that city[6]. He began studying violin and later piano at young ages and later developed an interest in the kamancheh and other world instruments[7]. By his teenage years, he was already composing and producing original works.[8][9][10][11]

Music career

Matin performed in concerts and recitals in Iran and other parts of the world as a pianist and violinist early in his career.[12][13][14][10]

In 2022, he released Seesaw on the label Fading Sound Records. To date, he has released an extensive catalog of music and has contributed to more than 100 internationally released recordings as a producer, sound engineer, and instrumentalist.[15][8][9][16]

In addition to his work as an artist and producer, Matin is also a sound engineer who has mixed and mastered numerous songs and albums for artists across different genres.[15][17][10][11]

Style and influences

Commentary in interviews describes Matin's work as combining Iranian timbres (such as the kamancheh) with electronic production and orchestral textures, aimed at cross-cultural dialogue.[8][16][18][19]
