Where Dreams Begin | Khagan Hajizada

There is a quiet power in sitting at the piano — a moment where everything external fades and only music remains. I’m Xəqan Hacızadə, a composer and pianist, and this photo captures something more than a pose: it reflects the space where my creative identity takes shape.

For me, the piano is not just an instrument; it's the heart of my artistic process. Whether I’m writing for film, scoring emotions, or simply exploring a new theme, I always begin here — where thought becomes melody and silence becomes a story.

Piano: The Beginning of Every Soundtrack

Over the past years, I’ve composed a variety of works, especially in the realm of film music. Every score, every piece, begins as an improvisation on the piano. It allows me to connect directly to raw emotion — something I believe is essential in cinematic soundtracks.

This moment, captured behind the piano, reminds me of why I chose this path: not for applause, but for authenticity. The ability to say things through sound that words cannot express — that’s what drives me.

My Vision as a Composer

My goal is simple yet profound — to create music that speaks directly to the heart. Whether it’s a soft piano solo or a fully orchestrated film score, I want every note to feel honest and alive. The piano is where that honesty begins.

As I continue composing, I invite you into this world — not just to hear the music, but to feel what I feel when I play it.
