................Farnaz Ohadi ..........................

While growing up in her native land of Iran, Farnaz sang at every available opportunity but longed to find her authentic artist's voice, free of the political restrictions placed on female singers.

Upon her move to Canada in 1990, she studied Operatic vocal training, Persian folk singing, and then Flamenco cante .
Farnaz's love of music and performance art inspired her to create the collaborative project "Mashregh Ensemble" in 2012, which combine's Persian poetry with Flamenco music.

Her debut album "Bird Dance" was released on October 1st, 2016 with very positive enthusiasm and garnered her a Canadian Folk Music Awards, "Solo World music artist of the year". Her second album, live in concert was released in February 2019. She completed her first Canadian tour to great success in March of 2019. She is now working towards her third and fourth album, slated to be released on November 2020 and November 2021. Her music does not shy away from difficult topics as she entirely focuses on giving voice to the unheard and to telling the immigrant’s story, through the only medium she knows, Music.
