Rostam is a talented musician and producer known for his unique blend of indie pop and alternative rock. With a distinctive sound that combines intricate melodies, heartfelt lyrics, and lush instrumentation, Rostam has captivated audiences around the world.
As a former member of the band Vampire Weekend, Rostam gained recognition for his contributions as a songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. His solo work showcases his artistic versatility and creative vision, drawing inspiration from a wide range of genres including folk, electronic, and classical music.
With an impressive discography that includes collaborations with renowned artists such as Frank Ocean and Haim, Rostam has established himself as a sought-after producer in the music industry. His production style is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail and ability to create immersive sonic landscapes.

Nonesuch Records releases Half-Light, the debut album from Rostam. Rostam is known for his work in Vampire Weekend and produced each of their three albums. His kaleidoscopic debut album features fifteen songs that were written, produced, and performed by Rostam in his Los Angeles home studio. Rostam will tour the album throughout 2017 into 2018 – dates to be announced. Grammy Award-winning songwriter and producer Rostam Batmanglij was born to Iranian refugee parents in Washington, DC in 1983. He attended Columbia University, where he studied classical music and simultaneously focused on songwriting, recording, and production in his own time. In his last year at Columbia, he began producing the first full-length album of his career, Vampire Weekend's self-titled debut. That album would be the first of the band’s three gold records with Rostam as producer. Rostam announced his departure from Vampire Weekend in the beginning of 2016. By the end of that year he had contributed songwriting and production to several of the most important albums of the year – including Frank Ocean’s Blonde, Solange’s A Seat at the Table, and a collaborative full length with The Walkmen’s Hamilton Leithauser.
