September was my birthday month and I had a few celebrations. Before heading back to Toronto, I had a little birthday celebration with my grandparents and with my friend. I wasn’t going to be home for my actual birthday, which is on September 14th, so I received a few early gifts. I got Bon Jovi’s new CD, it is amazing!!! In Toronto, my...

I was still in Ottawa during the first week of August. My best friend invited me and another good friend of ours for an over night sleep over. Her husband was away for work and we took advantage of the situation to have a girls’ night. It felt like high school all over again, especially...

I went to New York the first week of July and had a blast. I had a lot of work, but a lot of fun as well. Had some great meetings and also had some time to go sightseeing. One of the spots I really wanted to visit was the M&M store in Times Square, which I did and got...

June was a great busy month! Being without my cast was great. I still had pain, but my left foot slowly started to heal and has gotten a lot better. Thank you to everyone who voted for me in the Scotiabank CHIN Picnic contest. I made it to top 10, because of you! You...

What an eventful month May has been! I had a show in Oshawa before heading back to Ottawa, it was a lot of fun and I really enjoyed it. Finally the warm weather has arrived. I got to go on a lot of walks in my neighbourhood. However, my pollen allergies were really bad...

  My left foot was causing me a lot of pain and I had to see more doctors and do more tests. I ended up wearing an air cast for support, which may take up to 3 months to heal. I hope it heals sooner. Easter weekend was a lot of fun. My grandparents and my neighbours came...

The Persian New Year is called Norooz, it marks the first day of spring. I am born in Canada, but my parents come from Iran. We usually celebrate Iranian new year at home, especially that my grandma’s birthday is on March 21st. This year Norooz fell on the evening of March 20th and we went...

In February, I started recording songs for my upcoming record. I love how everything is sounding and that it is going well. Chris Birkett, my producer, is amazing. He is very open, he listens to me, understands what I want and involves me in every aspect of the recording process. I really enjoy recording...

January, what a cold month! I stayed in Ottawa all month to relax before I went back to Toronto. Unfortunately, I was sick a lot, but thankfully I was able to fight it and didn’t have to see a doctor to get antibiotics. January seems to be the worst month of the year for me, as I always...

Throughout December, I have been writing and also co-writing with other songwriters. I have been writing with a fantastic songwriter from Vancouver, whom I found on the SAC (Songwriters Association of Canada) website. It has been a blast! While working on my upcoming rock record in Toronto, I spent some time doing my Christmas shopping. I had...
