Shayan Italia – Zoroastrian UK Top 40 Artist

Single PosterFellow Zoroastrians,

It is with great pride that I inform you that our very own Zoroastrian singer and song writer,  Shayan Italia today releases his debut single “Reflection.”  On 13th of October 2007 his “Reflection” music video was at 4th position in the TV Airplay Chart, having had 301 plays that week.  You can watch the music video on Shayan’s site http://www.shayanitalia.com/.

Many Zoroastrians heard Shayan performing for the first time at the Zoroastrian Centre for Europe during the 8th World Zoroastrian Congress in June 2005.   He impressed members of the community both young and old with his talent, to the extent that he was requested to perform for a second time on the closing day of the conference.

I urge you all to purchase Shayan’s single and help propel him to the top of the singles chart.  Please promote him to all your family and friends and support this young and upcoming Zoroastrian artist.  We wish Shayan great success in his endeavour.
