Ziba Shirazi is an Iranian‐American writer, singer, songwriter, storyteller, and lecturer at Santa Monica College, who left Iran for the United States in 1985. Ziba is the first Iranian female singer-songwriter who not only wrote all her songs but also, despite all the obstacles, single-handedly produced and promoted her seven albums since 1990. As a Poet and music artist, she is best known for her poignant songs and storytelling through poetry. Ziba's compositions blend flavors of Persian melodies with world music and jazz. Referred to as the ‘Voice of Women' in the Iranian community, Ziba's lyrics are colored by passionate feminist tones, love, compassion, and universal human stories.

Ziba's lifetime dreams were achieved in the spring of 2014, when she staged her first musical production, Spring Love, at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and following years at Soka Performing Arts Center and Irvine Barclay Theatre.
