Our studio over the years has gained interest, popularity and status of being the perfect location not only for professional high end photoshoots but also for numerous sleek music videos for singers, dancers and artists alike. So was the choice of a talented director and videographer Amir Motaman who paid a visit to stage ART 1 to shoot a video for the talent Golazin and her song called “The Chosen One”.
“Gola was born in Isfahan, Persia into a country in political turmoil, at war and with radical rules against female freedom. She showed an early interest in music as a result of seeing her uncle’s performances on TV from birth and she was influenced early by Western music including pop (Britney Spears, Jennifer Lopez, Savage Garden, Christina Aguilera, Mariah Carey, Celine Dion and The Backstreet Boys) and traditional/folk music from Spain and Greece. Gola begun singing and playing piano, santoor (dolcimer), dammam (Persian percussion) and flute and at nineteen joined Persia’s first girlband ‘Orkideh’ (Orchid). This resulted in touring in and around Persia performing on a regular basis and gaining a substantial fanbase. Moving to London in 2006 she began studying for her Master and then PhD in Music Psychology and performing in the UK and France. More recently she has worked on her idea of combining her knowledge of Eastern music with the sounds of the West to create a new sound from the best of both worlds and raise awareness of Iran. Gola can be found performing her own material and covers in and around London on a regular basis.”The Director for the shoot was Amir Motaman who has already accumulated an outstanding portfolio available on his WEBSITE.
