Shiva Shazad is 24 years old and was born in Teheran, Iran. She moved to the Netherlands with her parents and sister during the revolution in 1980. Because of the influence of her father who plays the violin, she developed a passion for music as a child. She has been exposed to the dance scene past few years and got impressed by the power of electronic music. To fulfil her growing passion she started to perform as a DJ in the summer of 2000 and created her own musical style. In August 2001 she moved to Amsterdam to pursue her interest in music. She held a residency at Nightlife in Maastricht in 2000 and 2001 and she also played at Chemistry in Amsterdam in July 2001 together with 100%ISIS and Mr.C.
