Kioomars Musayyebi began studying the santur at an early age[2] with the Iranian santur master Faramarz Payvar[3]. He later studied music theory and composition with the film composers Farhad Fakhreddini and Kambiz Roshanravan.[4]

Musayyebi began teaching santur at the age of 18, and later founded the Avay-e-Shahrzad music school in Tehran.[5][6] During his years in Tehran, he worked as a professional sound engineer and as a musician and producer for film and theater, collaborating with artists such as Pari Saberi.[7]

In 2010, Musayyebi received a bachelor's degree in instrumental music from The University of Art in Tehran.

Since 2011, Musayyebi has been working as a teacher, composer and performing musician in Germany. He has played both as a soloist and with musicians from Europe, India, Africa, the Middle East and East Asia.[8] He is active in the fields of world music, new improvisational music, new music and classical Iranian music and regularly gives concerts in Germany and internationally. He has performed at several festivals, including Horizonte[9], Moers Festival, Fusion Festival, Folk'n'Fusion, Hildesheimer Wallungen, Musica Sacra International, Essen Original, Ruhr International Festival and Dastgah Festival.[10]

In 2015, Musayyebi completed a master's degree in Cultural Diversity in Music Education at the University of Hildesheim in the Department of World Music.[11] During his studies in Hildesheim, he also worked as a lecturer in santur courses at the Center for World Music (CWM) with the University of Hildesheim Foundation.
