Parvaneh Amir-Afshari (Persian: پروانه امير افشاری‎; born March 17, 1945), also known by her stage name Homeyra (Persian: حميرا‎), is an Iranian singer.

Early life

As a child, Homeyra was not allowed to sing in front of non-family members. She started to study Persian vocal music secretly under Ali Tajvidi. At age 16, she married a European-educated Iranian businessman, who encouraged her to sing professionally. She started taking music lessons and voice training courses.

"Sabram Ata Kon" was Homeyra's first song which was written by Ali Tajvidi and was broadcast from Radio Tehran in the mid.-1960s.

Few years after Islamic Revolution in Iran Homeyra fled to America.
