MY NAME IS AHMAD ALI ETEMADI, I WAS BORN IN GERMANY OCTOBER 21,1981. I AM THE ONLY CHILD OF ABDULLAH ETEMADI, THE LEGENDARY DRUMMER WHO PLAYED FOR AHMAD ZAHIR. I GOT INTO MUSIC WHEN I WAS VERY YOUNG, I LEARNED HOW TO PLAY THE TABLA, DRUMS, AND KEYBOARD, LATER ON I GOT INTO Singing, AND I STARTED RECORDING MANY CD's FOR KNOWN AFGHAN SINGERS. WHEN I WAS YOUNGER I ENJOYED BEING AROUND AHMAD WALI, HE WAS THE ONE WHO Influenced ME ALOT. MR. TEHRANI FROM GERMANY TAUGHT ME HOW TO PLAY THE KEYBOARD, I ALSO WENT TO THE MUSIC KONSERVATORIUM IN HAMBURG.
