Some facts I could find:
Her father, Grand Ayatollah Sayyed Mohammad-Kazem Assar, was a distinguished Shia theologian and Professor of Philosophy at University of Tehran. She was sent to Paris when she was only seventeen to study Oriental languages and philosophy. She also trained as an opera singer. In Paris she encountered artists, writers and poets such as Louis Aragon, Jose Bergamin, Jean Paul Sartre and Albert Camus. She was encouraged by Jacques Prévert to record albums of Persian folk songs, and subsequently chansons and old French songs.
After marrying the writer and explorer Nicholas Guppy in 1961 (they had two sons, Darius Guppy and Constantine Guppy, and were divorced in 1976) she moved to London, where she became as fluent in English as she already was in Persian and French. She wrote articles for major publications in both Britain and America. She also began singing professionally.
The singer
Her first British release, in 1971, was an album of traditional Persian music, previously released in France. By now, influenced by the Folk Revival, she was writing and singing some of her own songs, as well as covering the works of many contemporary singer/song-writers. She gave successful concerts in Britain, America and continental Europe, and appeared on television and radio programmes. She gave concerts in Holland and Belgium in 1975 with Lori Lieberman and Dimitri van Tooren.
