Ahdieh began her musical career in her hometown in Tehran, the capital of Iran, performing in a Children's radio program. Praised by her mother, who recognized her daughter's sweet and strong voice, Ahdieh's musical career would take her to the five continents throughout her adulthood.

By the age of 15, she had become one of Iran's prominent singers. Her songs were played on the radio, and she often sang as voice-overs in television and movies. In fact, it is hard to find a movie that she does not sing in. During this time, Ahdieh also studied music in private classes of Tehran's music conservatory as well as working towards her Degree in Accounting. Although, she had wanted to study Music in university, she followed the advice of others in pursuing accounting.

Despite being famous in her youth, she was forced to serve for two years in the military, a requirement for youth at that time. Although the government had a list of people that they would exclude from this service, she was not included on that list, for they viewed her as a good role model to other youth. During this time, Ahdieh, the tireless fighter of peace and unity, showed that she could love her country and perform its service, while still having a love for the world.

By the age of 19, she performed in an International Festival in Shiraz “The Feast of Art”, as the best singer in Iran Radio & Television (with the presence of Iran’s Queen).

In 1976, she decided to move to Spain as a Baha'i pioneer. She perceived this as a way that she could still do work for her country, which she loved, and it gave her an opportunity to serve in an International dimension as well.

When Ahdieh leaved Iran she was 25 years old and during her musical activities in Iran as a Persian singer she had sung more than 1000 different songs, for Radio and movies.

Ahdieh specially desired to share with the people of all countries the teachings of the Baha'i Faith which promotes worldwide unity. This motivation inspired her to leave her fame behind and to go to Spain in the beginning of 1976.

Moving to Spain was a benediction which prevented Ahdieh‘s persecution during Islam republic coming to power. Her name was on a list of people to be executed, because of being a Baha’i and performing in Baha’i activities.

While in Iran she had travelled a lot overseas, but since 1976 she travelled throughout the five continents, participating in Baha’i International conferences, National reunions of Fundraising, teaching activities, Baha’i schools, local and small gatherings, Regardless of the type of accommodations or transportation, she ventured to distant and remote places, as well as to prominent places .Sometimes she travelled in first class airplanes, and stayed in the best hotels, yet other times she travelled for days in cars or in buses through tropical rain and various conditions to the depths of the Amazon or Africa.

Accepting invitations for performing did not depend on whether or not she was known in a place, because her sole aim was to serve to the Faith through her music and actions.

In 1979, she married and in the following years had four children, who all share in her musical talents. After having the family, she returned to her goal of travelling throughout the continents, this time, accompanied by her children specially her son who plays piano. Also she collaborated with various organizations that their focus were on universal education, equality of men and women, peace, and unity.

From 1991 to 2001 she served in the Baha’i Community of Spain as an auxiliary board member. During the years of her pioneering she has produced many productions of Baha’i audio and audiovisual and special productions for children. The proceeds from the sale of her productions have been dedicated to different Baha’i Funds.

In this moment she is collaborating with Baha’i Radio “Payam-i-doost” preparing children programs. Also she continues her international travels; prepare music productions and audio and audiovisual programs for children.
