Biography
Zarema (Halilova) is a Crimean singer, songwriter, and actress of Crimean Tatar descent, born in 1983. She was born in Uzbekistan while Crimean Tatars were in forced deportation following the USSR's ethnic cleansing of the Crimean Peninsula—a tragedy later recognized as genocide by the Ukrainian government in November 2015. After the USSR's collapse in 1989, her family returned to Crimea.
Zarema earned a bachelor's degree in acting for dramatic theatre and film from the National University of Theatre, Film and Television in Kyiv, Ukraine. She taught herself Turkish and wrote original songs in the language. In 2007, she signed a recording contract with Sony BMG Music Entertainment Turkey and moved to Istanbul, where she released her self-titled Turkish-language debut album. The album achieved critical acclaim across Europe. Her music video "Atak" reached number-one status on Kral TV, Genç TV, MTV, Number One TV, and Viva! TV, and became the first Turkish music video to exceed 400,000 views on YouTube.
In late 2008, Zarema relocated to Los Angeles and became a U.S. citizen in 2012. She has since written songs in English that have gained traction on online music platforms and American radio stations. Professionally, she graduated from the Stella Adler Studio of Acting in Hollywood and joined AFTRA in 2009 and SAG in 2010 (now SAG-AFTRA).
