Shalizi was born in Palm Springs, California to his Afghan parents who had fled from Afghanistan in the 1970s when the Soviet invaded. He grew up in Irvine, California, attending his freshman year at Northwood High School and later moving to Corona, California where he graduated from Santiago High School.

He then graduated from the University of California, Riverside with a Bachelor's degree in finance.

He began his career at age 21, organizing parties at a local bar in Corona where he would Dj while still studying at the University of California Riverside. Eventually he began throwing electronic dance music based events at another local venue, which led him to become friends with the famous Iraeli Dj Borgore.

Shalizi and Borgore grew very close and Borgore offered him to be a managing partner of a new venture he was forming called Buygore Management.

Even though Shalizi had no experience in artist management he still decided to take the opportunity.

After graduating college, Shalizi was faced with the decision of going for a career in finance or sticking with music management, which wasn’t a very profitable venture for him at the time.

He decided to stick with managing and was able to break his artist Jauz who gained massive success from his singleFeel The Volume.

In 2014, Shalizi left Buygore Management and began managing independently.

In 2015 he decided to join Red Light Management where he currently continues to help lead the Electronic Division.

Shalizi is a frequent panelist at conferences and seminars globally speaking at the Pollstar Live Conference, EDMbiz Conference, and Amsterdam Dance Event, among others.

Shalizi was named the Billboard dance executive of the year for 2018. He was also included in Forbes annual 30 under 30 in Music.
