*CV*
It is my great pleasure to offer my services to you as a professional classical and electric guitar player. With a vast repertoire of many different musical genres and many years of performing experience, I’d be happy to bring excitement and joy to everybody onboard the cruise ship with my music.
During the course of my musical career, I have had the honor to meet and work with some of the greatest musicians from all around the world.
I had the pleasure of learning the basics of music at a very young age from one of the gre ... atest musicians of my country Iran, Mr AliAkbar Shekarchi, and to learn how to play the guitar from his son, Arash Shekarchi.
After moving to Canada in 2013, I had the opportunity to perform freely on the streets and subway stations, and to join The Mint Music School to continue learning how to play guitar from my fantastic music teacher, Mr Mark Ritter. As my performing skills approved, I joined some of the pubs and restaurants in the city to perform music on a weekly basis which has been an incredible experience of playing music both solo and with different bands.
After years of practice and hard work, I have managed to prepare a music repertoire of over 400 songs to share the joy of music with the world by performing on international cruise ships. I’d be very happy if you check samples of my music on my Instagram or YouTube channel at “Nimz Armstrong”.
What I have discovered after listening to and learning music for so long, is that we all listen to our favorite songs over and over again, just to remember the feeling we had when we heard them for the first time.
That is exactly what I have achieved by playing everybody's favorite music, with a whole new sound and in a way they haven't heard before. And I hope to have the opportunity to meet you and play my music not only for you, but also for everybody onboard. I hope to hear from you soon and I wish you the most wonderful day!
