SHOHREH SALAM

Shohreh Solati (Persian: شهره صولتی) (born Fatemeh Solati in Tehran, Iran)is a popular Iranian singer. She has had one of the most consistently active and prolific careers among contemporary, women Iranian singers. Since the Islamic Revolution in Iran, she has continued her music career in exile and achieved acclaim for her contribution to Iranian music. She has received recognition for her ability to continuously reinvent herself as well. Sometimes called the "Iranian Madonna", Shohreh also has been referred to as the "Queen of Scene", for her attention-grabbing music videos and stage presence, as well as the "Queen of Iranian Pop".

Born in Tehran to a well-to-do family of artists and entertainers, Shohreh developed an interest in music early on - singing at seven years of age. She later went on to study at the National Iranian Music Conservatory, where she received training in singing and the clarinet. Her first album titled Dokhtar-e-Mashreghi (Eastern Girl) was successful, garnering some notability. Magazines directed toward the youth of Iran in the 1970s also gave exposure to the singer.
