About
Ashkan discovered computers at his local library in third grade and was instantly captivated. At 10, he went online after receiving a PC and modem for Christmas in 1995.
The Internet had a profound impact on his childhood.
Life in the global digital village brought him new skills and friendships that transcended borders and cultures. Yet, it also left him questioning the physical world, still anchored in an outdated industrial-mechanical era.
At 17, Ashkan had taught himself to create music using his computer. After facing rejection from record labels in 2002, he hacked the file-sharing network Napster by sneaking his music into albums by famous artists.
His music spread like wildfire.
By 2003, Ashkan landed record deals with global music giants Armada Music and EMI—just before the digital revolution reshaped the industry.
Ashkan witnessed the revolution firsthand.
Since then, he’s been obsessed with studying the effects of information technology throughout history.
Drawing from his experiences in the music industry, academia, and the tech sector, Ashkan delivers unparalleled insights into our ever-evolving world.
