In 2016, Samadi invited German Buchla player Hans Tammen, and American clarinetist Blaise Siwula to collaborate in a structured, yet free, improvisational performance which led to forming Āpām Napāt Trio. Samadi has published six albums including Microtonal Piano Solos, Shekasteh Mouyeh, U-Turn, Āpām Napāt, Chamrosh, Nostalgia. Samadi’s music has been influenced by the “New Complexity”. He developed his own unique style which entails a new system of pitch organization that uses microtones from traditional Persian music, improvisation, complex poly-rhythms, and heterophonic texture. In addition, Samadi improvises on the piano which has had a great impact on his compositions. He is also a Baritone and uses traditional Persian techniques in his singing. Samadi is also an artist who has used oil painting and photography as his medium. Samadi is the director and co-founder of SAMADIS' which organizes an annual international composition competition and concert series. Also, Samadis’ records is a contemporary classical music record label based in New York City.

Samadi holds a diploma in Mathematics from NODET (National Organization for Development of Exceptional Talents). During his studies for B.A. in Music Performance and M.A. in Composition at the University of Tehran, he worked with Alireza Mashayekhi. Samadi was offered a full scholarship for his Ph.D. studies in composition at the State University of New York, in 2013. During his time there he studied with Daria Semegen. In 2015, the New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA) awarded Samadi an Artist Diploma in Multimedia and Performing Arts. His work “Magnapinna in Abdomen of a Newborn” was chosen to be premiered at the New York City Electroacoustic Music Festival, in June 2014. His composition “Paj” won first prize for the 2012 Counterpoint-Italy International Composition Competition.{{Citation needed|date=November 2018}} In 2009, Samadi won an award for one of his chamber music compositions at the 24th Fajr International Music Festival.
