He produced his first number-one album, Vampire Weekend's Contra, when he was 27 years old.
Batmanglij has been nominated for three Grammy Awards: twice for Best Alternative Music Album with Vampire Weekend (winning for Modern Vampires of the City) and once for Album of the Year as producer of Haim's Women in Music Pt. III.

Most recently, Rostam composed the music for both seasons of Zal's television series The OA.
Batmanglij majored in music at Columbia University, where he joined the band Vampire Weekend in 2006.
"At Columbia, I would study classical harmony in classes and I would study music on my own, and I would try to re-create songs that I love in recordings...that was really how I learned."
The name of the group comes from the movie of the same name that bandmate Ezra Koenig and his friends made over summer vacations.
Batmanglij produced their self-titled debut album shortly after graduation while concurrently working multiple full-time jobs.
He also produced the band's follow-up album, Contra, which sold 124,000 copies in its first week and landed atop the Billboard 200 charts.
