Giggling and running a hand through her short, peroxide-blonde hair as she plunks herself down on a plush bar couch, she says her mom and dad used to call her their “Israeli baby.”
This requires further explanation and the 28-year-old – who now goes by the name Gola professionally – is happy to oblige: Before the 1979 Islamic Revolution, Iranians who could afford to do so would sometimes travel to Israel for fertility treatments. She was born long after this practice ended, but as she was also 16 years younger than her other siblings, she recalls how her parents would jokingly say that they had “gone to Israel for her.” It was, says Gola, “their shorthand way of saying I was special and not at all an accident.”
It took her a while to get the joke, though. Once, in third grade, she remembers telling someone she was “from Israel” – much to her mother’s consternation. “I always loved that story,” says Gola, showing that she never worried about being different – a trait still true today as she forges a career singing to her own tune.
We meet at a bar she has chosen, on the 52nd floor of the Shard building – the highest hotel bar in Western Europe, she points out. She likes the whole “top of the world” sensation it gives. It’s kind of how she feels these days, she says, as she orders up a shrimp roll and rose petal tea.
