Mehdi
"I'm So Done" is the Alternative Pop Dance remix of Mehdi's ballad "Slowly Coming Undone." Same raw confession — laying down every weapon, every wall, every painted smile — reimagined with driving dance-pop energy and soaring choir-lifted hooks. Where the original bares itself in quiet acoustic vulnerability, this version turns surrender into celebration: a declaration that finding real love means finally letting go of the fight. Two sides of the same heart, coming undone in different keys.
Mehdi
There's a quiet kind of surrender that comes when you finally stop holding everything together — when the weight you've carried starts to loosen, one breath at a time. "Slowly Coming Undone" is a stripped-back acoustic reflection on that release: not collapse, but relief. Written and sung by Mehdi, with warm fingerpicked guitar and a weathered, intimate vocal, it's a song for the moments when letting go feels less like losing and more like finally coming home to yourself.
Mehdi
A nostalgic acoustic ballad about a love that never really faded — sparked by a song on the radio that pulls the memory of saltwater, surfboards, and a giant blue moon back into the present. "Blue Moonlight" moves through tender verses and a soaring refrain into a redemptive bridge, where old pain gives way to hope. Part memory, part longing, it's a song about carrying someone with you long after the moment has passed — dreaming under the same blue moonlight, wherever you are.
Mehdi
Nothing Planned finds Mehdi at his most unguarded — a warm, raspy voice over percussive acoustic guitar and melancholy piano, opening on a dark prairie road at dawn. What begins as quiet longing becomes a tender surrender: love arriving unannounced, undeserved, and unstoppable. Swelling strings, hushed choir, and a soaring final refrain carry the song from vulnerability to triumph. Cinematic Americana at its most heartfelt — proof that the best things in life are rarely planned.
Mehdi
A tender acoustic ballad about love that never truly leaves us. Written for anyone missing someone who's no longer here — a parent, a partner, a piece of your own heart — "My Northstar" finds comfort in the idea that love becomes a guiding light long after goodbye. Raw acoustic guitar, weeping electric guitar, and warm choir harmonies frame an intimate, raspy vocal that builds from quiet ache to heartfelt release. A song for anyone who still looks up and feels someone looking back.
Mehdi
"Tell All The World" is a heartfelt call to compassion set against life's fleeting nature. Mehdi's sincere acoustic style urges listeners to forgive, love deeply, and live with purpose before time runs out. Wrestling with questions about karma alongside an unwavering hope in faith, the song builds from quiet reflection into a soaring refrain — a reminder that tears, laughter, and gratitude are what make us human, and that kindness, in the end, is what truly saves a life.
Mehdi
A love song about endurance, not pursuit. After years guarded against heartbreak, an unexpected connection breaks through — turning isolation into home, and doubt into quiet faith. Built on warm acoustic textures and blended choir, the track leans into wonder rather than certainty, asking who really guides these moments of grace. Its message: real love doesn't need chasing. Once found, it simply remains — earned through hardship, not spectacle.
Mehdi
"Always" is an acoustic pop ballad about a love that has weathered time, distance, and doubt — and still holds. Built around warm, intimate acoustic guitar and Mehdi's emotive vocals, the song moves from quiet reflection in the verses to a soaring, heartfelt chorus that captures the simple truth at its core: loved you once, love you still, always have and always will. It's a song about devotion that doesn't fade — the kind of love that becomes a constant, no matter what changes around it.
Mehdi
"That's My Life" is a road-worn anthem about the cost of chasing the spotlight — twelve hours of empty highway, small-town diners, and the quiet ache beneath the applause. Mehdi trades his cinematic instrumental roots for raw, first-person storytelling, capturing the exhaustion and resolve of a life lived on stage and in transit. Anchored by the refrain "Here I go, chasing the applause again," it's a meditation on pain, perseverance, and the strange peace of accepting who you are.
Mehdi
A song about the quiet rescue that comes before you're ready to name it — the hand you didn't notice reaching for you while you were busy pretending you were fine. Built around a confession that grows from private doubt into a full-choir declaration of gratitude, "You're My Angel" traces the space between losing your way and being carried through it, whether that grace comes from a person, a presence, or something harder to define.
Mehdi
"My Only Hope" is an intimate acoustic ballad about crossing borders, both literal and spiritual, in search of belonging. Warm fingerpicked guitar and Hammond organ carry a raspy, restrained vocal through verses of searching and a hushed bridge of surrender, building to a choir-lifted chorus. Rooted in universal faith and hope rather than any single tradition, it's a song for anyone who's ever whispered "not my will, but Yours" while still holding on.
Mehdi
"Lost Without You" is Mehdi's meditation on searching — a journey across cultures and convictions in pursuit of meaning. The song traces a path from chasing wisdom in the world's oldest traditions ("live and learn, like they do in Japan") to the quiet realization that knowledge alone was never enough ("without love, I was nothing... without faith, I was done"). Every lesson becomes a mirror; every mile, a step closer to surrender. It closes in humble confession — the truth that some things take a lifetime to find. A song about discovering that without You, we are lost.
Mehdi
"The Only Truth" is Mehdi's plea for surrender — a journey from doubt to divine companionship. The song traces a path from questioning what's real ("not everything that shines is really true") to feeling hollow and undone, "like a house of cards, one blow from caving in." Yet beneath the collapse burns a fire that won't go out — a light no darkness can reach. It closes in surrender, the narrator asking simply to be led "home, into the light." A song about giving up the fight for control, anchored by one recurring plea: stay with me.
Mehdi
"Just Believe" is Mehdi's testimony of survival — a journey through darkness, isolation, and the shame of feeling broken. The song traces a path from suffering alone ("burned it down just trying to stay warm") to discovering an unseen presence that carried him when he had nothing left to give. Every scar becomes a road to somewhere; every ending, an open door. It closes in gratitude for grace — the quiet strength that keeps you standing. A song about learning to just believe.

— Spotify Artist Bio
Creating his own road is how Iranian-American composer Mehdi, based in Los Angeles, found his way from traditional Classical and Jazz to an unexpected career twist over two decades ago.
As one of the most successful creators of contemporary instrumental music, he transcended "new age" labels to establish himself as the best-selling creator of Instrumental Imagery Volume 3 — which reached No. 1 on the Alternative chart for 11 consecutive weeks.
Mehdi has been playing piano since he could reach the keys and has been singing since the age of 15, beginning his performing career in the 1980s working behind the scenes on numerous feature films and documentaries for Discovery Channel, Nova, and National Geographic — until he stumbled onto a different path in the mid-1990s.
He uses concerts as an opportunity to create vivid musical pictures, transporting his audiences on a breathtaking odyssey of the mind, body, and soul. He has opened for Cirque Du Soleil and the California Philharmonic Orchestra.
Mehdi began releasing cinematic instrumental music in 1997 and promptly disappeared behind it. No publicity. No interviews. No social media. Just music, distributed quietly into the world through live performances, and left to find its own way.
It found its way. Over 182 million streams later — gold-selling albums, an 11-week run at No. 1 on the Billboard Alternative/New Age chart, and thousands of fan-made YouTube videos accumulating millions of views — Mehdi remains one of the most heard artists most people have never seen.
✦ 2026 — A Bold New Era
A bold new era has begun in 2026. After nearly three decades of instrumental composition, Mehdi has stepped into songwriting and vocal music — every lyric, melody, and arrangement is his own, drawn from years of musical craft and personal reflection.
Part of that evolution means embracing new tools. Mehdi sings every vocal himself, enhanced with AI-assisted production, and uses AI in the visual storytelling of his videos — the same way earlier generations of artists worked with samplers, synthesizers, and digital production. The songwriting, the performance, the emotional core — that's still built the way it's always been built: by hand, over years, in his own voice.
The imagery in Mehdi's videos and artwork is AI-generated — a visual expression of the songs, not a depiction of the artist.
Mehdi has always preferred to let the music speak rather than the person behind it — this new chapter continues that same quiet philosophy, just with a fuller voice.
New releases include My Only Hope, You're My Angel, That's My Life — with many more to come soon.
