Namito went through a lot in his youth, witnessing his Iranian homeland torn apart by a revolution and war. Evacuated to Germany as a young teenager, he then proceeded to watch the tumultuous end to the Soviet Union unfold right before his eyes.
His musical career spreads over three decades having released on different renowned labels such as Kling Klong, Systematic Recordings, Kompakt, Yoshitoshi, Selador, and Sol Selectas only to name a few. Also including residencies in the best Berlin clubs such as Tresor, Sternradio, and international gigs in all continents.
He has co-produced many other artists including Marc Romboy (Innervisions, Kompakt, Bedrock), where he also shared the stage live with the Dortmund Philharmonic Orchestra and the legendary Grandmaster Flash with whom he made parts of the music for the Netflix show called ‘The Get Down’.
Namito doesn’t limit himself as an artist only to being a music producer and DJ, he displayed with the first exhibition of his paintings at the gallery of the famous nhow Hotel.
