About Me

Palestinian actress, singer and songwriter. Living in Israel. I was Born in Rama village in the Galilee to a Palestinian Father (Anwar) and a Bulgarian Mother (Snejanka), between two brothers (Alan and Sinan). And due to a multi-cultural and humane up-bringing, I find it difficult to understand why the human-race is butchering its own kind and the environment. I am a strong believer in co-existence among fellow human beings and all other living organisms on this planet.

Following are some photos I took in the village I grew up in, it lies on the side of the Haidar mountain in the Upper Galilee, it has alot of up-hill streets to keep you fit, but no Gyms, it has lot's of trees and green, but no parks, it has culture but no cultural facilities, it has lot's of fresh air but no proper sewage system. It's the place where I grew up, so did my father, so did his father before him, and so on for generations, it has a warm place in my heart. This is dedicated to my friends from back home, with Love. Mira.

"A word about tomorrow, before we drown in sorrow, I am afraid, and can no longer hide the pounding of my poor hear inside! A word NOW, about the doubt that keeps you from reaching out and touching me"... A duet I wrote and recorded with my dear friend Noa for my debut album "Bahlawan-Acrobat" (still unreleased!)...
