Top Ten With Keo Nozari
I’m inspired by:
People in unusual situations, sparkle in someone’s eye, working through sad moments, working through drunken moments, make rights out of wrongs, love in surprising places, laughter, my mom
I realized I wanted to play music when:
I was 3 years old! I had a Preschool record player that played funny plastic records and a tiny baby piano that I didn’t feel was long enough for alI the music I wanted to do!
Four songs you might find on my iPod:
“Set Fire To the Rain†Adele
“Annie You Save Me†Graffti6
“Inside Out†Britney Spears
“Freedom†George Michael
One word I would use to describe myself:
Mischievous
The best part of being a musician is:
Staying up way past most people’s bedtimes! At night when everyone else is asleep, all the ideas are yours.
Right now, I’m most excited about:
A) This Top Ten list
B) My single “Acceptable 2 U†being on the radio
C) The original music I’m making for a celebrity TV special on ABC
D) This Top Ten list!
Something most people don’t know about me is:
I love cooking shows (“Giada at Home†“Barefoot Contessa†“Chuck’s Day Off†“Top Chefâ€). But rarely have time to cook.
One of my happiest moments was:
When my song “Rewind†hit the Billboard charts! A childhood dream come true — I used to buy the magazine and watch my favorite artists go up and down the charts. It was so exciting to see my name on there!
My music is:
Fun, diverse, sincere, funny, from the heart.
In ten years, I see myself:
Making music, hopefully on a piano that’s long enough for all the music I want to do!

Acceptable 2 U – The Remixes (Part 2) is available on iTunes now; Love Boutique is available on both iTunes and Amazon
