Born in October 1988 in Tehran, Sahar Mohammadi is a graduate of Agricultural Engineering. She is best known as a vocalist of Iranian classical music. Sahar plays the Tar and Setar, too.

She owes her voice to her father who also discovered her talent as a child and encouraged Sahar to sing songs along with him when she was only a teenager. Soon after that, he led her to professional music courses with famous teachers.

Sahar started playing the Setar at the age of 13 under supervision of Maestro Sepehr Lajevardi. Her first stage experiences were through these classes when she performed in Arasbaran Music Hall.

Later, she learned Radif Mirza Abdullah, a famous base for traditional music of Iran, from Maestro Mohammadreza Lotfi. Radif is a collection of old melodies that have been handed down by several maestros to the students through generations. She continued her studies with learning Setar from Maestro Masoud Sho’ari, and Tar from Maestro Arshad Tahmasebi.

Maestro Afsaneh Rassaie has long been her singing teacher. Sahar learned Radif Karimi from her as well, and believes she owes all her singing to this teacher of hers.

While Sahar has also had professional singing lessons with Meastro Mehdi Fallah, she knows him as a great mentor for herself.

Last but not least among her singing teachers comes Mohammad Motamedi.

It is good to mention there have been other great maestros helping Sahar on her way to success whose names had better appear here after their mutual projects get released.

Below are a number of music albums or singles which carry Sahar Mohammadi’s name on them:

•	Songs from Paiman Khazeni •	Baad-a-baad (Que Sera) Album: Duets with Ashkan Kamangari, with Media Farajnejad as composer •	Sodaa-ye Vatan (Homeland Dream) Album: Duets with Ali Yaripour, with Mohammad Movahednia as composer •	Singles from Maisam Setayesh, Mohammad Fat’hi, Pouria Pournazeri, and Reza Soufi

Sahar had a successful European tour in 2011. She experienced a number of brilliant performances in the Netherlands and Germany during this trip.

In 2012, she lent her voice to Hafez Puppet Opera by singing as King Abu Eshagh’s mother. This opera was creatively directed by Maestro Behrouz Gharibpour and Behzad Abdi was its composer.

Sahar Mohammadi has also movie soundtracks. Oghab-e Sahra (Eagle of Desert) composed by Behzad abdi is just a sample for this.

Sahar is honored to sing along with Hessar Ensemble on their September 2013 live performance in Tehran.
