March 25, 2018 - NIOUSHA NOOR (HBO's "Here and Now") and EMIN EMINZADA (singer-songwriter)

Summary: NIOUSHA NOOR, from HBO's "Here and Now," is our featured guest this Sunday night! NIOUSHA currently plays the mysterious character "Donya" on HBO'S new critically acclaimed series from Alan Ball, "Here and Now." This prolific series explores the challenges of a multicultural family starring Holly Hunter and Tim Robbins - the family appears to be a model for society until one of the sons begins having strange visions, threatening the stability of the group. NIOUSHA's character Donya is impacted by the 11:11 phenomenon which is seen by numerologists as an auspicious and synchronistic sign. As more unexpected events unfold, the family is faced with challenges that can't be explained by mere chance or coincidence "Here and Now," which premiered on HBO February 11th, locates itself in the multi-racial America we live in, with an intentional and purposeful voice from a diverse writing staff and cast. The show has had a profound impact in 2018 especially with recent social and political events. NIOUSHA is an engaging actress, dancer, singer, and producer, and uses her multiple talents to inspire positivity in whatever she is a part of. She is in the midst of producing a second video for her show #PERSIANIZE. In 2017 she released the first, a hilarious music video where she takes over a Hip-Hop dance class as an Iranian teacher and dancer. Also joining us on the show this Sunday night is EMIN EMINZADA, Azerbaijani singer-songwriter. Born and raised in Baku, EMIN has performed in various singing and drama classes as a child. At the age of thirteen, his music career has shined because he performed with famous Italian singer Robertino Loreti on "Jamaica" and "O sole mio" and has participated in classic and pop master-classes in Italy. At first he sang Italian-Neopalitan songs, but those who have heard EMIN know that he has a vocal range for popular songs. He has won several international song contests in different countries to date in Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Kazakhstan, as well as Baku-Azerbaijan. His first single in English "Bubble Dreams" aroused great interest across Europe with the song played on popular radio stations such as BBC1, Jango, iHeart Radio and others.
