Zarema

Zarema is a Turkish and American singer, songwriter and actress of Crimean Tatar descent. She was born while the ethnic Crimean Tatars were in deportation in Uzbekistan, having been expelled from their native lands on the Crimean Peninsula in the Black Sea as part of the USSR's ethnic cleansing (later recognized by the Ukrainian government in November, 2015 as genocide). It was not until 1989, after the fall of the USSR that the Crimean Tatars were allowed to return to their homeland of Crimea.

Zarema achieved critical acclaim throughout Europe with her self-titled debut Turkish language album released by Sony BMG Music Entertainment Turkey in 2007. The songs on the album were all written and sung by her. Her music video, "Atak" reached number one music video status on many television channels in Turkey, including Kral TV, Genç TV,MTV, Number One TV, and Viva! TV and was the first video in Turkey to ever obtain 400,000 views on Youtube.com.

In late 2008, Zarema moved to Los Angeles, California and on September 22, 2012 became a United States citizen. She has written many songs in English, a number of which have gotten considerable attention on online Music pools and have been played on numerous American radio stations.

A graduate of the National University of Theatre, Film and Television in Kiev, Ukraine, Zarema has pursued an acting career in the United States, graduating from Stella Adler Academy of Acting in Hollywood and studying under various reputable acting coaches. She became a member of the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA) in 2009 and in May 2010 became a member of the Screen Actors Guild (SAG). Fluent in Russian, Turkish, Ukrainian, Crimean Tatar, and English, Zarema has performed voice-over work on a number of popular movies and television shows, including "Darkest Hour", "Madam Secretary", "Criminal Minds-Beyond Borders", "Castle", "Arrow", and "Covert Affairs".
