A recognized master of the vocal radif repertoire of Persian art music, Ostad Nasrollah Nasehpoor, was born in Ardebil, Iran, 1940.

Since his father, the late Agha Shakour, was garman (Azerbaijani organ similar to European accordion) player, so he was acquainted with Azeri music through his childhood.

When he moved to Tehran, he studied under the late Mahmoud Karimi for many years. He also studied instrumental radif repertoire of Persian art music at the National Music Institute with the late Ostad Ali Akbar Khan Shahnazi (A very skillful tar player).

In the class of the late Soleiman Amir Ghasemi (vocalist), he got in touch with the late Ostad Saeed Hormozi (A very skillful setar player) and he learnt many important points of Persian art music.

At last he worked with the great master of vocal radif repertoire, the late Ostad Abdollah Davami, who had a great influence on his musical development.

Ostad Nasehpoor's vocal's unique timbre, which has coupled with his creative talent and his rich Azeri musical background, makes him an outstanding performer. He has researched, taught and performed about 40 years.
