Roshel Amin is the son of Neriye Aminov, one of the 20th. Century grand masters of "SHASHMAKOM", the classical music of Central Asia (Tajikistan & Uzbekistan). He studied the Shashmakom with his father since childhood.

His father instilled in him a respect for this ancient musical art of the East, teaching him its basic structure and melodies components. Thus he learned in the traditional way through oral transmission rather than through formal lessons.

"SHASHMAKOM" has evolved over many centuries. Its repertoire, consisting of 252 melodies and songs, was created by many musicians and poets.

These compositions were handed down from teacher (ustoz) to pupil (shogird) as is the tradition throughout Central and South Asia.

Roshel Amin has inherited his father's repertoire as well as his performance technique on the tanbur, sato and tar (lutes) and his vocal timbre.

He has participated in many festivals and was the winner of many musical competitions in Central Asia and Russia.
