Ziba Shirazi

Ziba Shirazi is an Iranian-American writer, singer, songwriter and storyteller who left Iran for the United States in 1985. Ziba is the first Iranian female singer-songwriter, that not only wrote all her songs, but also despite all the obstacles she single-handedly produced and promoted her seven albums since 1990. As a writer and music artist, she is best known for her poignant songs and storytelling through poetry. Ziba's compositions blend together flavors of Persian melodies with world music and jazz. Referred to as the 'Voice of Women' in the Iranian community, Ziba's lyrics are colored by passionate feminist tones, love, compassion and universal human stories.
