About Parisa
Hey future student! I'm Parisa Shahmir, a British/Iranian singer, songwriter, and actress with over 10 years of experience in the music industry which I can't wait to share with you. I am so deeply passionate about music and the power of this art form to inspire, heal, and connect. Songwriting is a way to tell stories, express emotions, and find your unique voice as an artist. I love working with others to nurture their creativity and help them grow, learn, and refine their craft. Whatever your genre or writing style, whether you're just starting out or looking to elevate your songwriting skills, I’m excited to share my knowledge with you and support your journey.
A little more about me and my songwriting...
My songwriting experience spans multiple genres, including pop, folk, musical theatre, EDM, and singer/songwriter. I've had the privilege of working under Ivor Novello winner Eliot Kennedy at Steelworks Studios in Sheffield (Sony Music Publishing) writing and collaborating with their roster of independent artists.
In 2020, I released my debut album, Working From Home, a collection of 29 songs written and recorded over 29 days, which peaked at No.1 on the iTunes Singer/Songwriter Charts.
An original song of mine, The Tidal Pool, was featured in the UK and Canada tour of the No.1 musical, Fisherman’s Friends and whilst on tour with the show, I penned my first original musical, Medusa, which was showcased in New York in October 2024.

Parisa is one of the most inspiring teachers I’ve ever worked with. She brings so much warmth, creativity, and knowledge to every session. I came to her with just a few rough ideas and no real confidence in my songwriting, and she helped me turn them into full songs I’m truly proud of. Her ability to listen, guide, and gently challenge me pushed my writing to a whole new level. I always felt seen, supported, and encouraged to explore my own voice. Working with Parisa genuinely changed the way I think about songwriting.
Working with Parisa has honestly been such a game-changer for me. She’s super open and supportive, and it never felt like there was any pressure or judgment—which made it way easier to be real and try out new ideas. Her feedback is always on point and she’s amazing at helping you figure out what you’re really trying to say in your lyrics. I’ve grown a ton, not just as a songwriter but as an artist overall. Every session left me feeling more confident and more inspired.As a complete beginner, I was nervous about songwriting, but Parisa made the process feel easy and enjoyable :)
She’s patient, encouraging, and explains everything clearly and I’ve learned so much about what goes into making a great song!Parisa was an absolute legend as a songwriting teacher. Not only did she give me loads of practical tips tricks and techniques as well as a bunch of extra reading (specifically around writing for musical theatre, which is what I'm learning to write songs for) but she was so positive and encouraging. I don't just feel like I'm a better songwriter now, I just feel more confident as a person. I can't rate Parisa highly enough. What a gem.
