Badi Yazdi

Badi Yazdi started singing at the age of 10. And though he makes his living as a senior engineer for Boeing Company in California. Badi's passion for chanting verses from the sacred writings of the Bahá'í Faith has led him to create several albums as well as organizing and performing at numerous fundraisers.

His first album 'Ya' Bahá Madadi' was completed in 1995 and was inspired by the poem by Mr. Houshmand Fatheazam (a member of the Universal House of Justice). "Niayesh" album was his second release and is a collection of eleven Bahá'í prayers.

In 2006 when Badi traveled to Haifa on pilgrimage, he was honored to meet the Hand of the Cause Mr. Vargha. During this meeting, Mr. Vargha encouraged Badi to start working on an album which transcended genre and which all listeners could enjoy. Mr Vargha, also asked Badi to work on old Baha'i songs and recording them with higher quality so the old songs can be in circulation in a wider distribution in the world. With the collaboration of Eric Harper, Badi has just completed his latest album 'Yaran'. Released in August of 2013, the albums proceeds will be contributed in support of the Yaran as a dedication to Mr. Vargha.
