California born and raised 1st generation Persian American both parents escaped the revolution in Iran especially my father who was a superstar and music legend he went on to make another 100 hit songs in America and met my mother and had me I speak perfect English and almost perfect Farsi I've never in my life dated or been with my own kind my mother says that's my problem and why I'm not able to settle down let's see if she's right I don't think so but she swears by it... I always told myself if I do ever have any kids I'd want them to be full blooded cause let's just be honest Iranians are just so much more smarter than everyone else... So maybe this won't be Mom playing match maker after all
