Born in Tehran, Roygari became interested in the arts at a young age. He trained in traditional music and theater, which helped shape his distinctive performance style—one that blends classical vocal technique with dramatic intensity. Alongside music, he also pursued acting, appearing in theater and film, which further broadened his artistic reach. Reza Roygari rose to national prominence around the time of the Revolution. His music from this period is especially remembered for its emotional depth and strong patriotic themes.
Painting remains an important part of Roygari’s artistic life. His works often reflect abstract, emotional, and symbolic themes, and he has held exhibitions showcasing his paintings. This lesser-known aspect of his career highlights his identity as a comprehensive artist rather than solely a singer or actor.
