Early life

Woods grew up in a traditional Persian household in Los Angeles.[2] Her father owned a popular Persian restaurant, and her mother was a stay-at-home mom who also handled the business side of the restaurant.[3][4]

Career

Woods was scouted by her first manager in her senior year of high school from a choir performance. As a result, she pursued music full time immediately after graduating, rather than going into dentistry as she had planned.[3][4]

Woods debuted in 2015 with the song "Only A Girl," which describes her first same-sex relationship. Woods came out as a lesbian to her family through the song.[1] The accompanying music video has over 10 million hits on YouTube.[5]

Woods released her debut EP Cut Season on October 9, 2020.[3] The album was influenced by the lack of support Woods received from friends after her experience leaving a four-year relationship and her father's passing.[4]

Influences

Woods is inspired by Radiohead, Green Day and Madonna.[4]
