Her birth name is Fatemeh Vaezi, and she embarked on her musical journey under the supreme guidance of the well known Persion Radif maestro named Mahmoud Karimi.

Furthermore, the Ministry itself had completely misjudged her and ended up giving per pop oriented melodies to perform in. All of this eventually led to a ferocious media battle by the end of which she regained her stature as a radif vocalist and begun creating music with many other traditional artists. Soon enough she was seen performing at numerous traditional live events. She gained an immense amount of fame when she performed live at the prestigious Shiraz Arts Festival.
