She began her career in singing at age 19 in 1924 when she performed at the Grand Hotel in homeland. When she performed she was among men and without the veil. During another performance at the Palace Theater in capital, again without the veil, she was accompanied by Morteza Neidavoud, who she had met when she was 16, just a few years earlier. He encouraged her to study music under his tutelage and she studied and performed in 1924. Vaziri and Neydavood worked a lot together during her 3 decade long career and in 1956 accompanied her for her farewell performance.
