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.
