Jhanvieh was coined the first Persian Electro-Lounge band by Persianesque.com Magazine. Jhanvieh is however more than just a lounge band, they are the symbols of Iranian and Persian cultural evolution and freedom of expression; maintaining an underground global fan base. They tread on indie rock, trip-hop, electronica, Spanish music, etc. Sam and Anahita play all of the instruments for production. For live shows Sam DJs the drum, bass, and fx of the music on a mixing board while he and Anahita play the guitar and sing. After they both traveled to Iran to learn traditional music and collect native Iranian instruments, they decided to form the band in 2007. Sam and Anahita remain the sole members of Jhanvieh and also DJ for various underground events. Having signed on to Amor Productions record label in 2008, they released their first pivotal album, "Abrisham" ("Silk") produced and engineered entirely by Sam in his garage in OC, California. Jhanvieh has received various radio play around the world. The band has heavily contributed to the inspiration of the formation of other Persian bands in and out of Iran due to their progressive, evolved, and highly sophisticated use of eclectic instruments, analog/digital fx, as well as production techniques. Jhanvieh successfully fuses the East and West.
