SHAZDAR's debut album, Strings and Paper Stitches, was released on November 24, 2017. All music was recorded in SHAZDAR's personal home studio under his label Shazdar Music. It features melodic and sometimes haunting vocals of SHAZDAR along with varied string instruments which were all played by SHAZDAR himself. He had worked on the songs featured on the album for over fifteen years, many of which had been featured in student films years ago in their rough draft form.
