She started writing poetry at 15 and dreamed of one day becoming a performer. In her teens, she became enchanted by the American musicals, My Fair Lady and Fiddler on the Roof, featured in the movie theatres in Tehran, and later on Broadway musicals continued to be a great source of inspiration.
In 1985, Shirazi left Iran for the United States, where she produced and promoted the first of seven albums, Red Apple, in 1991.
This album, rejected by Iranian music producers for its unconventional lyrics and melodies, became a success soon after its launch.
