The oldest child of a four-member family in Tehran, His studied the piano under the supervision of Kavous Samandar, Javad Maaroufi and Mostafa Pourtorab. His first concert was in Aboureihan-e Birooni Hall in Shahid Beheshti University at age 16. Since then he had several concerts worldwide.

He began his career as a pop singer in March 1997 (Norouz 77) by performing "Eidaneh" on television. His first album, Kouch-e Asheghaneh, published in 1999, with the hit single "Ghodsiane Aseman" made him one of the most popular singers of the new generation of pop singers after the Islamic Revolution.[1]

In 2006, Assar started a new genre of Persian pop in collaboration with renowned conductor, Shahrdad Rohani and the London Symphony Orchestra.[1] Open Secret comprises seven pieces inspired by poems from Ahmad Shamlou, Mohammad Reza Shafiei-Kadkani, Afshin Yadollahi, Shahkar Bineshpajuh, and Afshin Moqaddam.
