Music

Born and raised in Los Angeles, I'm a Persian-American Jewish singer with a wide singable range (D3 – Bb5) and a deep enthusiasm for connecting with people through song. My vocal training spans over 15 years, with instruction in pop, jazz, musical theater, and classical genres under the guidance of esteemed instructors such as Sara Leib, Gerald White, Kathleen Grace, Sara Gazarek, Lyndia Johnson, Sean Holt, and Elizabeth Prescott. Through participating in a variety of vocal ensembles, I’ve gained valuable experience in collaborative music-making and live performance.

Alongside my practical training, I built a strong foundation in music theory, harmony, history, and production during my studies at the University of Southern California, Chapman University, and Santa Monica College. This fusion of artistry and technical knowledge drives my approach to music and co-creation.
