Born in Iran, Shiva Negar grew up in Turkey and Canada and began her career as a child by performing at piano and guitar recitals and in singing competitions. In high school, she became involved in school plays which led to some early work in theatre, which in turn led to her making the decision to take this path in life more seriously. She attended film school to study acting and has taken several workshops in Toronto and Los Angeles to further her career. Her latest project, Becoming Burlesque, is shooting in Toronto and is scheduled to wrap on January 19, 2017.
