Kioomars Musayyebi began studying the santur at an early age[2] with the Iranian santur master Faramarz Payvar.[3] He later studied music theory and composition with the film composers Farhad Fakhreddini and Kambiz Roshanravan.[1]

In 2010, Musayyebi received a bachelor's degree[3] in instrumental music from The University of Art in Tehran.

He has played both as a soloist and with musicians from Europe, India, Africa, the Middle East and East Asia.[9][10][1] He is active in the fields of world music, new improvisational music, new music and classical Iranian music and regularly gives concerts in Germany and internationally[11][12]. He has performed at several festivals, including Horizonte,[13] Moers Festival, Fusion Festival, Folk'n'Fusion, Hildesheimer Wallungen, Musica Sacra International, Essen Original, Ruhr International Festival and Dastgah Festival.[14]
