Salam bacheha ! 

Hey guys ! (you'll learn a bit of Persian in this episode ;) Today I am beyond hyped to release this episode to you all. Not only are we going to be talking all things to do with music, the industry itself, Little Mix, the band and have a bit of a sing song ourselves ;) - we're also going to be dropping in some (warning : loud & proud ;) Persian vibes and energy! 

Today we are joined by one of Britain's biggest rising superstars not only in terms of her music but also from her infectious, fun and loving personality. Please can I introduce to the Persian Queen and TikTok's very own BIG BATTY GYAL - ROMINA khanom !! 

This conversation is probably our most fun, energetic and insightful one yet. Indeed, it's so good that for the first time ever we have it not last just an hour but instead a whole hour and a half in our special three part episode ! 

In this first part we learn about Romina's first interactions with music and how significant her first piano teacher was for her entire music journey and consequently career - big up Mr Wesley.  We get a sneak peak into life as being a member of one of Britain's most talented, upcoming and saucy bands - YCHANGE which was formed from the hit BBC show 'Little Mix : The Search' which aired late 2020. 

Romina tells us about what she was like when she was younger and the bullying she endured as a result of being 'overly energetic', Persian, hairy and generally from being the designated 'the annoying child.' However, interestingly, we learn that this greatly changed in secondary school where she soon became a big well-respected name as a result of her insane creative and musical talent which continued while she was studying at the University of Westminster. 

Join us in the next two parts to learn more about Romina's remarkable journey!
