Azam was born in Tehran, but when she was four, she moved to the town
of Panchgani, India. She is therefore strongly influenced by the Indian
culture.
Her mother fled with her in 1985, during the Iranian revolution. They
traveled to California, where Azam still lives.
Azam has collaborated with many diverse artist and film composers. They
include: Serj Tankian (of System Of A Down), The Crystal Method, Juno
Reactor, Buckethead, film composers Tyler Bates and Jeff Rona, Kodo and
Mickey Hart.
