TasteTV and the MUSIC CALIFORNIA VIDEO AWARDS announced that Maryama, “Where The Mermaids Are” is the Coolest Visual Effects Award Winner for the USIC CALIFORNIA VIDEO AWARDS .

She has competed and placed in the Iranian International Youth Competition in the Music Composition category, where she places as a semi-finalist, and in the Music Association of California Community Colleges’ Composition Competition where she placed 2nd in the state of California.

Maryama is proud to feature a multicultural and diverse group of musicians and tell a story of unity and peace. From underground music scene of Iran to big stages of Los Angeles, she has relied on music to show her power and influence as a woman and as an immigrant. You can hear this unique collection of stories in Maryama’s upcoming album “Where the Mermaids Are”(named after the single) which is mixed by 3 times Grammy Award winning Marc Urselli and Mastered by 3 times Grammy Award winning John Greenham.
“Where The Mermaids Are” is a beautifully hypnotic track that seduces any of its listeners into a trance. The video is equally transformative with its impressive cinematic quality and show of artistic aptitude. Maryama can be seen drifting through a sea of purples, blues and reds while the worldly strums of a Setar and the enthralling quality of Maryama’s voice pulls you into a reverie. This video takes on the quality of the Sirens from Greek Mythology, and is equally as magnetic as the tale tells. The calming waters and the care-free attitude of the video’s dwellers will have its viewers heading to the beach at dawn to get lost in a million different sensations. The video is symbolic and a metaphor in itself which can take many different meanings depending on the listener. This gives the audience the power to be unique and have their own take on this sound visual world.

The Christopher Brothers, “The Girl Next Door”: MCVA Best Band or Group Award Winner
TasteTV and the MUSIC CALIFORNIA VIDEO AWARDS announced that The Christopher Brothers, “The Girl Next Door” is the Best Band or Group Award Winner for the MUSIC CALIFORNIA VIDEO AWARDS .
With over 420,000 Facebook fans under their belt, and a steadily growing fan base from all over the world, The Christopher Brothers are quickly breaking out of their mold of baby-faced rock and roll brothers and speeding towards full-fledged pop rock heartthrobs. Their chemistry comes naturally as siblings, but it is strongly reinforced by the countless stages they’ve shared over the years. The trio, Cameron, Charles, and Ethan, have built their brand the old fashioned way, through live performances all over the US and especially their home turf of southern California. In their new video for “The Girl Next Door” the band puts this flawless dynamic on full display with a fun and irreverent clip for audiences of all ages.
The band has hit the stage at venues such as the world famous Whisky a Go Go, The Roxy, LEGOLAND California, Six Flags Parks, shopping malls, and schools throughout the U.S., as well as opening for music legends Al Jarreau, Spyro Gyra and WAR at the Vancouver Wine & Jazz Festival. Their new full-length album, Dog Daze, exhibits their uncanny ability to blend an accessible pop sound with the urgency and conviction of alternative punk/rock attitude. All of this is rolled into one brilliant package in the MCVA award winning single for “The Girl Next Door” and the insanely infectious new music video.
Drawing wisely and effectively from the classic rock roll movies of the 60’s like Help!, A Hard Day’s Night, or Jailhouse Rock, “The Girl Next Door” is a fast-paced, black and white festival of fun. Inspired by true events in the boys’ lives, the video revolves around the new neighbor and the spell she has cast over them. They scramble and scheme for ways to get her attention, preparing a variety of pleasantries to leave on her stoop. Their ambitions pay off, seemingly, as the gift left on the doorstep have been taken. But have they been taken by the girl or by a rascal in their midst? A seemingly innocent rascal that fans of director Jared Sagal’s “The Young Ronaldo” video, that is…
