Seyyed Mohammad Motamedi (Persian: محمد معتمدی; born September 24, 1978) is an Iranian traditional vocalist and a ney player.
He started learning to sing and play the ney in adolescence, teaching himself by listening to the works of maestros of Persian singing. He studied "Film Directing" as his major in university. In 1997, he started learning the singing style of Seyed Hossein Taherzadeh. He became interested in the Isfahan school of singing and learned by practicing the songs of its maestros such as Taj Esfahani and Adib Khansari and has benefitted from guidance of masters such as the late Hossein Omoumi and Aliasghar Shahzeidi.
He has a resume ranging from working with the maestros of Iranian music such as Alexander Rahbari, Mohammadreza Lotfi, Hossein Alizadeh, Majid Derakhshani, Farhad Fakhreddini, etc. to as working with international figures and performances in venues such as Carnegie Hall, Theatre de la ville, Muziekgebouw Amsterdam, etc. He also collaborated with Roger Waters in an album by Trio Jobran called "The Long March".
