Hi, my name is Aziza A Poggi. I am a singer for Dendura (prog metal w/ an Egyptian theme) and Aziza & Al-Asdeka (world fusion). Plus, I am an aspiring opera singer and session recording artist. Dendura is currently working on our new album with Grammy winning producer Neil Kernon. I have trained with Melissa Ferlaak Koch (formerly of Visions of Atlantis and Aesma Daeva bands) , Dale Schriemer of GVSU, Bill Bokhout (Opera GR), and now Diane Penning (GRCC). I'm also a voice major in college. I have worked with many great people thus far in my career such as Deni Pierson of Amarna Sky on a recording project which also featured Karl Sanders of Nile on lead guitar, with a project for Comedy Central doing the theme song on the show "Monsters Ballz" to award winning indie films and directors on "Broken", "New Directions" and " Cadence" for film scoring. I'm Egyptian, Lebanese and Northern Italian.
I am also a former actress in many independent films and commercials and casting assistant on the films "61" (Billy Crystal, HBO Films), and "Hardball" w/ Keanu Reeves & Diane Lane (Paramount Pics). I no longer act unless it involes singing on stage. My personal life I pretty much leave at home. I am a single mom to 1 though pictures of my son are not seen much on my page because I am a bit paranoid! Thanks for reading,
Aziza

Heeeey, Aziza - it’s been a while :) - and how are you, hope things are good, are they?... Listen, I have a favor to ask you, could I? Since my picture won at the monthly level & Round 1, I got nominated for the LongHair Hawtie of the Year. Round 2 (Finals!) ends in a few days and... - was hoping for those 6 votes from you ;)
So... this is where you would cast a vote

Just look for this picture on the last row:
And these are the rules on how to 'do it' ...
Yeah, you do need to get accepted as a friend before you can vote, but they’re nice girls (the hawtie folks), no harm whatsoever :)
Thank you so much already,
In appreciation,
- Armand
PS. a very 'evil' thought - maybe you can tell your friends to vote too? ;)
Hey Aziza, sorry we missed you in Detroit last night. Huge night - Billboard, SPIN, Pollstar, etc. Rolling Stone is coming to Cleveland on Monday. Let us know if you'll be joining us in LA.
It was so good to see you Aziza and I can't wait to see you again at the show. Let me know if you're planning to be at the Detroit or LA show, so I can make arrangements for you.
