Suren

I grew up in Tabriz, in northwestern Iran. Some of my first friends were the chickens we kept at home. When I was on my own, I’d look up and watch planes go by. I still do.

In 2016, I moved to Italy to study aerospace engineering. I’ve lived in Vienna since 2019, and I now work as a development engineer in aviation, analysing flight-test data and developing software.

My love of music started with Pink Floyd’s “Wish You Were Here.” I still remember my first guitar performance: an oversized suit, a Yamaha C70, and a solo to play. I’ve played classical guitar since my teens and now spend more time on electric guitar, improvising and learning the theory behind what I hear.

At school, I rarely volunteered for plays, but I kept getting cast, often in leading roles. Now I’m choosing to explore acting on camera. I love how cinema brings music, movement, and storytelling together, and I’m curious about what happens when you get to see the world through a character’s eyes.

I’ve trained in boxing, kickboxing, Muay Thai, jiu-jitsu, and wrestling. These days I swim and practise yoga, mobility, and calisthenics. I’d love to build on that experience by learning stage combat and seeing how movement can tell a story on screen.

I speak Azerbaijani, Persian, English, and German. I’d like to work across drama, action, thrillers, science fiction, and historical productions. I’m also drawn to comedy, especially when it gets a little dark.
