Sepideh Baradaran, born in Detmold and raised in Cologne, showed great passion for music since early childhood. She grew up in a Persian-Azerbaijani family, in which the music of both cultures was consistently present and an important influence in her musical development.
At the age of five Sepideh began her early musical education at the Rheinische Musikschule Köln and also started singing in the music school´s childrens’ choir. Due to her distinct musical talent she started to take classical violin lessons with Karen Meißner, teacher at the Rheinische Musikschule Köln, at the age of eight. One year later she complemented her instrumental music studies by taking classical piano lessons with Tatjana Radtke, former professor at the conservatory of Moscow. In the following years she played as a violinist with both tutti and soloist performances in several orchestras such as the youth symphony orchestra of Cologne, the chamber orchestra of Porz and many more.
Sepideh completed her soloist vocal training with musical singer Yana Kris (The Voice Factory). Within The Voice Factory she appeared as a soloist for various events, i.a. in WDR, musicals and gala events. Furthermore, she intensified her studies with a coaching of voice formation with musical singer and logopedician Oliver Linde.
Sepideh successfully completed her Bachelor studies in psychology at the University of Cologne and subsequently worked as a psychologist. Currently she is completing her Master's degree at the University of Hamburg. At the same time she is working as a pianist and singer.
