Syrian refugee turned Hollywood singer may visit Bahrain

From a Syrian refugee to a Hollywood singer, inspirational artist Vivian Nouri is planning her Middle East and North Africa tour for the future, which will include Bahrain. Vivian has worked with Grammy-award-winning producer Brian Kennedy, Rihanna and Lady Gaga.

Originally from Kurdistan, Nouri’s family was granted asylum in New Zealand when she was three. Speaking to Tribune, Nouri said, “Talks of a Middle East tour, are in the pipeline. The Middle East has been an immense source of inspiration, and I look forward to performing in Bahrain one day and experiencing the culture, hospitality and rich history of the Kingdom.”
