Shakila [1], the youngest member of her family, was born in the city of Tehran. Her deep interest in music started revealing itself since she was a child. At the tender age of nine, she was invited to perform on a television show, which eventually brought about the attention of many producers to promote her as a professional singer, which her family disagreed to due to her young age, so she continued her studies and limited her performance to talent competitions and school contests. Shakila fulfilled her dream of becoming a professional singer in 1990, by releasing her first album "Kami Ba Man Modara Kon". Her exceptional interest in Rumi has inspired her to sing many of Rumi's poems in the most heart touching way, and many believe that Rumi's poems and Shakila's angelic voice deeply match. She has two sons, Shahrod & Behrod, and she currently lives in San Diego, CA >>> [2]
