Maryam Zadeh is an 80's Synthpop Artist best known as the front singer from the 80's Hi Energy Band TAPPS which produced such hits like My Forbidden Lover and Burning With Fire. Although not the original member, Maryam has brought her own vocal style and image to complement the band. In 2003, Maryam Zadeh became passionate about reviving the sounds and musical styles of the 80s which lead her to Alan Coelho producer and original founding member of TAPPS. After collaborating on some experimental tracks in the studio, Alan Coelho liked her vocals and asked her to become the new lead singer for the band. This gave Maryam Zadeh and opportunity to connect with the fans from the 80's as well as the new generation that love 80's music. In addition, she discovered that there was still a strong demand for 80s music after 20 years which inspired her even more to continue and find producers that could help her develop music that was authentic to the 80's.  This lead her to reach out to other prominent names in the music industry that had hits in the 80's like Spandau Ballet's producer Richard James Burgess, Martin Fry of ABC and Psychedelic Furs guitarist Jay Ashton. Due to already prior commitments with their other projects, she was unable to connect with any of them and decided to put that on hold and form a band called Arcadia One in 2007. With the tracks produced by Alan Coelho like He's Such A Pretender and TAPPS songs, Arcadia One performed at many clubs in Los Angeles and opened up for high profile names like The Flock Of Seagulls and Stacey Q. Although it was a short lived project, it did make an impact on the Los Angeles music scene. During this time, she also had the great opportunity to perform as back up vocalist for Trans-X who had the smash hit Living On Video. In 2011, Maryam Zadeh decided to continue her pursuit of her dream of reviving the sounds of the 80's and connected with producer Jose Jimenez of J-Vibe Productions who was very important in the 80s underground dance scene. In January 2012, a compilation of 80s inspired dance tracks which include Love Storm and remake of My Forbidden Lover, were released on the CD entitled The New 80's Wave on Itunes. Presently, she is working in the studio with producer Jose Jimenez on a remake of Spandau Ballet's 1980 hit Too Cut A Long Story Short along with other tracks that will have an influence of Italo Disco and New Romantic style from the era she so much loves....The 80's.
