Rostam is the solo moniker of multi-instrumentalist/producer Rostam Batmanglij, who balances experimental sounds and heartfelt intimacy in all the music he makes. He first earned acclaim as a member of Vampire Weekend, whose chart-topping and Grammy-nominated 2010 album Contra he produced. Batmanglij soon became an in-demand producer and collaborator, blending pop, rock, and electronic music fluently as he worked with artists ranging from Carly Rae Jepsen and Charli XCX to Hamilton Leithauser and Ra Ra Riot. As a solo artist, the artful production and memoiristic songwriting of his 2017 debut album, Half-Light, 2021's Changephobia, and 2026's American Stories immerse his listeners in his explorations of identity.

Rostam has also released music as a member of Vampire Weekend and Discovery.
