I started to sing when I was a kid at school. In my teens, I trained at the Iranian National Radio and Television Station in the music section. I started with Assyrian songs, thereafter, Persian songs. I started working with many famous Iranian poets and composers, and produced many popular songs, which were broadcasted on the radio and TV stations, many of them reaching the top ten records of the time. In 1976, I was invited to the United States for some concerts in California and Chicago, which were very successful.
