Ghazi first came on the music scene with a band called "The Vibes" in 1994. A keyboardist and an avid composer he left the band in 1996 to pursue his own individual aspirations. He moved to Houston, Texas and established an audio production house called "The Vibes Audio Interactive". Teaming with Hash the duo are working on various projects together including Ghazi the Band’s self titled debut album “Ghazi”.
Ghazi paints an honest picture of himself and the world as he sees it, amidst a truly diverse blend of musical influences, from traditional ethnic melodies to pop, from trance to electronic dance. The result is an incredibly ambitious electronic record. His work strongly advocates his inclination towards trance and a fusion of eastern melodies. The upcoming albums as heard by some have been deemed very progressive.
 His love for electronic music started with pioneers like 80's synth-pop acts like Depeche Mode and Pet Shop Boys, followed up by the early releases from acts like The Prodigy and The Chemical Brothers. In 1997 he discovered trance & house, and since then he's been a loyal follower of this scene, though in later years his taste has developed more and more towards progressive sounds.
Ghazi started producing electronic music in 2005, and today he works in the fully equipped Ghazi Studios. Currently on the projects "The Movie Mookitab’s title track Sochta Houn", "TMB’s debut album" and a collaborative remix record "Tanhai". Ghazi has also produced tracks for Kavi the Band. Ghazi has always held his post, his battle stations: playing the keyboards and keeping the flame of the dance philosophy burning. Over one thousand and one uncertain nights; and now, upon his ascendancy, Ghazi delivers “Ghazi the Band”.
