Mohsen Amini

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mohsen Amini at the Underneath the Stars festival in 2016

Mohsen Amini (born 1993) is a Scottish concertinist.[1][2][3] He is a co-founder and member of the folk trio Talisk and the folk band Ímar.[4][5]

Early life

Amini was born in Glasgow, Scotland, to an English mother and an Iranian father.[2]

He began playing the concertina when he was around 10 years old,[1][2] and was tutored by the folk musicians Mairi Campbell and Catriona McArdle but largely taught himself.[6] He attended Strathclyde University to study chemical engineering but dropped out to pursue his musical career.[2]

Career

Amini co-founded Talisk in 2014 and Ímar in 2016. He plays a 120-year-old concertina that cost £7,000.[6]

In 2016, he won the BBC Radio Scotland's Young Traditional Musician award, the first concertinist to do so.[2] At the 2018 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards, he was named Musician of the Year, the youngest ever holder of the title.[2][1]

A profile in The Herald described Amini as a "young international virtuoso of the concertina".[1] An interview with Spiral Earth described Amini as "a flamboyant force of nature and a natural showman – with eye defying, quick-fire concertina skills and a never failing bonhomie."[2] He told The Economist that he experiments with technology like multi-sample pads and expression pedals in his spare time.[7]
