Arash Yahyapour, also known as Arash Dimas, is an Iranian-Canadian composer, vocalist, producer, author, and creativity and self-healing coach. His work explores music as a language of human experience—one that extends beyond performance into emotional depth, healing, and expanded awareness.

Born into a family deeply connected to music, Arash’s journey began in childhood through traditional Azerbaijani rhythms and instruments. From an early age, music was not simply a discipline to master, but a lived experience shaped by sensation, memory, and emotion. At seventeen, he discovered his natural operatic voice alongside a strong inclination toward composition, writing his earliest works intuitively and developing a musical identity outside rigid academic frameworks.

After completing a degree in civil engineering, Arash pursued formal studies in Musical Theatre, Opera, and music composition in Istanbul. He later chose to step away from institutional education to follow an independent artistic path grounded in self-education, mentorship, and direct experience. During this period, he remained actively engaged in performance and collaborative projects while refining his compositional voice.

In 2011, Arash immigrated to Canada, where he became involved in diverse musical projects as a singer and composer. His collaborations include operatic and contemporary works with Iranian-Canadian composers, as well as performing as a lead male singer in Arshin Mal Alan by the legendary Azerbaijani composer Uzeyir Hajibayov. These experiences reinforced his belief that music carries cultural memory and collective meaning beyond technical form.

Arash’s creative process is rooted in sensation and intuition. He often begins by improvising on the piano, allowing sound to emerge before structure. His compositions span piano, instrumental, and orchestral forms, with a focus on emotional honesty and inner movement. His debut instrumental album, Freedom, released in 2013, introduced this approach and was later expanded into multiple versions, including a full orchestral arrangement.

His piano solo album Fingers Talking (Fantasia) was first released on February 8, 2014, and later republished on October 9, 2025, reflecting a renewed artistic vision and refined presentation. His full orchestral album The Road of Life was released on December 25, 2025. Both albums were composed and produced by Arash and published under Ardimax Media Inc..

In October 26, 2025, Arash collaborated with the Concert Orchestra Canada at the Richmond Hill Centre for the Performing Arts. Two of his orchestral works were performed: The Road of Life, conducted by Matheus Coelho, and Far Away, conducted by Arash himself. This concert marked a significant milestone in presenting his orchestral voice on a professional concert stage.

Beyond music, Arash is deeply engaged in the study of consciousness, creativity, and self-healing. Through practices such as meditation, Reiki, Chi Gong, NLP-based methods, self-hypnosis, and conscious lifestyle design, he has experienced personal transformation and witnessed profound physical and emotional healing in others. These explorations led him to write A Journey of Self-Awareness and Self-Discovery, released in October 2024 and available internationally through major digital and print platforms.

For Arash, music is not a product but a living process—an offering shaped by experience, imagination, and inner inquiry. He sees sound as one of the most direct ways to understand the human condition and to connect across time, place, and culture.
