I am Afshin. I was born in Iran. Studied university in Malaysia then headed to Turkey for work and now i am based here since 2017. I have three companies that take most of my time i the day.

On the side, I make electronic music and i run 2 record labels Tripbox Records and Machines Don't Dream. I produce club gigs and DJ every few of weeks at different venues to support my artists and the music they release.

I have 2 homes in Istanbul and i can offer a private bedroom for a guest or 2 guests if possible including all amenities in exchange for culture and possibly art and music (like jamming and production and music talk etc. All artists, music players and instrumentalists and generally people who can sing or play or write something are gladly welcome to stay 🎶❤️)
