She lived in many countries such as Afghanistan and Turkey because of her father's job. When she was 11 years old, she went to a music school located in Baghdad and took classical piano lessons. The political instability that broke out in Iraq led to radical changes in her life and due to the events that took place when her father was arrested in 1972, she went to England and started to live in London and continued her education life there.
