About SamZYArtist
Who am I?
An artist of Persian descent, residing in Hamburg, Germany. He grew up in Bremen and later in Tehran, which reflects the influence of various cultures in his work.
He has pursued his artistic path since his teens, starting with comics and caricatures, and later expanding to watercolor painting, sculpting objects (clay, stone, soapstone), photography, technical drawing, and 3D studio work (now 3D Max).
For several years, he worked as a content creator, freelance journalist and other Industries. He is currently retraining as a media designer for image and sound in Berlin.
My music
Music producer, singer, songwriter and composer from Hamburg. The tracks contain the sound of guitar and synthesizer. SamZYArtist sings to lyrics written by himself.
Vocals in English, German and Persian
Release 38 was the latest release in January 2026 on AWAL Music (Sony Music Entertainment), on which I sing in English. It also includes an elaborately produced animated music video in virtual reality entitled “I'm Virtual” (not public).
The only song released in German so far is “Feuerstein” from the album DARK VIBES. The next German-language album is called “Es ist Zeit” (It's time)
and will be released in 2026, as will my first album in Persian.
Number of Releases & Music Catalog
All previously produced music tracks between 2021 and 2024 were released monthly and can be found worldwide on all music and video streaming platforms (Spotify, SoundCloud, YouTube, Beatport, etc.). The productions from that time also include genres such as techno, tech house, electro jazz, chillout, and experimental, unlike the current house, trance, and metal.

Film production
The first own productions were created with simple means (hardware and software), which were later spiced up with effects in post-production and published as short films or music videos.
Animation (2D, 3D, AR / MR / VR)
To date, various animated films have been created using AR technology (augmented reality) or AI and stop-motion technology.

- Skyfighter (2021) a music trailer was created by using AR and 3D lidar lens technology.

FISH:
The difference between Fish and my previous productions lies not only in the selected target group (children and young people), but also in the technology used and content,
On the topic of sustainability, I write regular articles in my article series “Sustainable Living” and publish them in the weekly LinkedIn newsletter. This is how the idea of producing this film animation came about in order to illustrate to children and young people in an audiovisual way the great importance of environmental protection.
My role(s):
I'm acting for the first time after my first production from 2021 ("the Fantastic Adventure", music video for the album Lifestyle), here again as an actor. At FISH I was also responsible for directing, film script, recording, animation, production/post-production, sound and character design.
Further news about this project will appear here, in the blog and on the press releases page.
