The name Niema (pronounced Nigh-ee'-ma) means graceful, pleasant, creative, and has its counterparts in Swahili, Arabic, Chinese and Hebrew.
Niema has lived in the L.A. county area since 1983, when she relocated from her native Philadelphia. Prolific in the spoken and written word, with the help of Don Hinson, the Program Director for WKDU-FM, Niema recited live and recorded her poetry on college underground radio station WKDU-FM (Drexel University) and later on WRTI-FM (Temple University) in the Philly area.
Besides recording her poetry on WRTI-FM, Niema also co-hosted the talk show METAMORPHOSIS with Ron Alexander, where they interviewed live current politicos and aired issues of the day. Ron Alexander has gone on to publish several books, as well as doing public speaking and book-signing engagements.

The material Niema created has been included in her present book, "SILVER RAIN", along with several other excerpts. She is currently working on a follow-up book, "BLURBS".
Niema had her own band at the age of 14 and toured locally for several years. She then joined other bands and travelled stateswide and to Canada and the Nova Scotia areas before relocating to L.A. Niema's last band that she worked with was called PROMISES, a 5-piece ensemble with Rudy Bishop as bass player and band leader, out of her home town of Philly.
Below are pictures of Rudy with his new band, BOUNCE. Along with playing bass, Rudy is prolific in singing, song-writing, composing, playing keyboards and also playing regular guitar.

Niema wishes the best for Rudy, and his band, BOUNCE,
and hopes they can one day coordinate in-studio for other projects.
Niema continued to pursue her singing career once in LA, including going on tour to Japan with a local band, lent her voice to several album projects, and appeared in music videos. As both Fashion and Music have always been important to Niema, she attended the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (L.A.), and later Brooks College in Long Beach, where she learned the rudiments of design, sketching, and sewing. Through her background in accessory design while back east, she incorporated these teachings into her love for creating 'by hand' various items, as seen on display here at her site.

ABOUT THE BOOK:
SILVER RAIN, a 3-volume book, takes the reader on an evocative and thrilling ride through romance and interludes in a type of descriptive writing that ‘old school’ romance writers once used. It covers the gamut of innocent musings, love, heartbreak and loss in passages remiscent of T.S. Elliot, Saigo, and Pablo Neruda. The author escorts its readers into an evocative world that defies time, space, and current outlooks to swamp them with a magnificent array of writing that begins with her own self-descriptions, thoughts, musings and lyric writings that seem to spring from a type of modern VICTORIAN setting. Her writing style transports you to a sweeter, better existence of life and love in all its trappings, realizations, and final acceptance of life rules and processes.
This is a 1st Edition book; a 2nd Edition will soon be forthcoming. Please check back for more info.
