An interview with Ayric: an artist with a one-of-a-kind background.
-Thanks for your time Ayric! Can you tell us about your musical journey and how you developed your passion for music, eventually becoming a musician, singer, and songwriter?
Music, for me, is a window to a different and endless world.
In this world, I can make a music that originates from my feelings and the lyrics that come to my mind, with the combination of melody and harmony ،this song is a part of me.
With my music, I relieve my sadness, I relax, I get happy, I get motivated and I continue on my way.
Along with enjoying music, it requires a lot of effort and dedication to continue and improve continuously
Special attention should be paid to each section
And for a musician this is a lifestyle
- You graduated from the Tehran Music Conservatory in composition. How has your formal education in music influenced your artistic style and approach to composing and arranging songs?
University education in the field of composition has given me a deeper and broader perspective in this field.
But ultimately, in today's music, sometimes a single chord is much more effective than a complex harmony.
In a music that emphasizes singing, the melody of the voice is the most important, and during this study, I had the opportunity to learn, practice and improve my singing skill with professional teachers in the field of classical singing.
And I am currently using this singing ability to present the desired feeling in the song.
- Moving from Iran to Italy must have been a significant transition for you. Ayric, how has your cultural background influenced your music, and how do you navigate blending different musical influences in your compositions?
Basically, this forced migration happened because of the existence of a dictatorship in my country, Iran, and forced me to pay a lot of money and lose a lot of time.
But anyway, this has given me a better perspective of the future
Most of the songs that have been released were created before the migration. After moving, I have composed other songs, which will be released soon.
I use elements of Persian pop music in my work and always will; but for diversity and creating new works, I use elements from different genres of music, so that it is in the format defined for me.
- “Life is Beautiful" seems to carry a powerful message about finding hope and beauty in the face of life's challenges. What inspired you to write this song, and how do you hope it resonates with your audience?
The message of this song is clear, “Life is beautiful, open your eyes”.
The text of this song is from the famous Iranian poet “Rumi”.
This song is about wisdom, and like hundreds of other artists, I share my experiences with the audience in the form of songs. We, as humans, face many challenges, and it can be like a long marathon, and the thing that saves us is having hope and looking at the beauty of life. This song has a sentence: “I have seen the cure after throwing away the pain.” This means that we must see beyond the problems, difficulties, and pains to be able to overcome the challenges and continue our life's path.
We should not just be alive, we should live and enjoy it.
We Persians have a proverb that says: whatever comes from the heart will be placed on another's heart, and the audience who has a similar experience will connect with this song.
- Your collaboration with artists from different backgrounds, like the song "Incontrare te," demonstrates a willingness to explore diverse musical ideas and styles. How do you approach collaborations, and what do you believe they bring to your creative process?
Yeah, this collaboration was a wonderful experience and I have a long relationship with these artist friends
And when we came to the conclusion that we are offended by racial discrimination and the lack of equality and peace in different countries, and as artists, we felt it was our duty to do something to protest this situation, and finally, the song “Incontrare te” was made.
I am very interested in communicating with other artists, and I will continue these collaborations in different ways in the future.
In general, meeting different cultures is very attractive and will also lead to more knowledge, more learning and richer music.
- As an artist who has experienced different stages and platforms, from performing on stages in Rome to being featured on Italian TV, how do you feel your music has evolved, and what are your aspirations for the future in terms of your musical career?
I really enjoy performing on stage; seeing the emotional impact that my singing has on the audience is very interesting to me.
I am very happy that I can make and perform music that makes the audience feel good.
Performances definitely bring experiences and help to further progress.
In the future, I plan to release the songs and videos that I am working on and communicate with more audiences and also engage in music activities on a wider level.
