Sina has been featured at festivals including Burning Man, Luminato, Folk Music Ontario, CINARS, and Mundial Montréal. His album, Ray of Hope, was nominated for Best World Beat Album at the 16th Independent Music Awards. In 2022, Sina premiered his electronic music body of work at a sold-out concert in Toronto, resulting in the creation of “Breath of Life,” which has amassed 20 million streams and achieved charting success in countries including Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Turkey. He has been signed with prestigious record labels such as Hoomidaas, Alt Orient, and Tibetania, and has performed in Canada, the United States, Mexico.

Sina began learning the santur at the age of seven from his father, Javad Bathaie, and studied Persian music with the oud. He later pursued studies in Composition and Orchestration for Film at Berklee College of Music and has composed scores for movies such as The Horse Latitudes, Un royaume déménage, Ameno, and Mr. Settled Immigrant.
