At the age of nine Nima moved to the ancient city of Vienna to attend school and later the University in Vienna, where he completed his Masters degree in international business administration which also included many languages such as Spanish, English, German and Persian. At the same time he visited the Prayner Conservatorium in Vienna to enhance both singing and guitar skills.
