Thanks @jamesmatthewdaniel for these great photos from the show at @lightandsounddesign this past Saturday. That was one of my favorite shows I’ve played. Also, thank you to @molto_ohm for asking me to perform, and everyone who came out and supported ⚡️

While you’re guessing what tracks are on the new Harry Styles album, we’re guessing which of our Diamond Divas gave such a bold confession.

A few frames from our recent spot for @globalhealingofficial A project rooted in honesty, intention, and quiet confidence. Clean visuals that align with the brand and let the message stay clear. #nycproductioncompany #nycdirector #directorofphotograpy #filmproduction

Last year was one for the books here at Shahla Karimi. We took bold risks in terms of marketing—like launching our very own comedic reality series, Diamond Divas. We knew going into the series that this was big, but we never would have imagined just where this would take us. What began as a small dream six years ago, finally came to be as Shahla said the idea out loud last March. Within weeks, the cameras were in the showroom ready to capture the crazy ups and downs of what would soon be known as Diamond Divas. Come June we started to launch three episodes a week for three months on socials and were overwhelmed with the response. We introduced the world to Mike, a man coming in to buy a ring in order to manifest a partner, we endeared you to the eight Diamond Divas, we watched a man propose right there in the showroom, and Shahla even brought in a psychic she found on Craigslist. Our goal was to showcase modern love while adding levity which ultimately would uplift women—something reality tv doesn’t often do. We believe we achieved our goal. The show became Say Yes to The Dress meets The Office and if you haven’t binged all 40 (and counting episodes) head to our repost section! In September, we brought back some of the amazing comedians we worked with for a stand up show that centered around love and relationships. It was such a hit we’re hosting another one in two weeks! (Dm us for more info). We write all of this to say, take the bold leap, do the scary thing, and thank you, thank you, thank you. 2025 was a year of sheer joy. We can’t wait to see where Diamond Divas takes us in 2026, we have a feeling it’s going to be bigger than our wildest dreams. 💎 And a huge thank you to our team who made this possible.

As a musician, there’s no greater honor than hearing that a song has become a lifeline or one of the highlights of someone’s day. To know that something you created could impact someone like that is genuinely one of the most rewarding parts of making music. Creating this video with such a talented and intentional team was its own sacred experience, and watching the story take on a life of its own has been incredible. Thankful for you. 💜

ONE SOUL MUSIC VIDEO OUT NOW 🚨 When I first began creating One Soul, I never could have imagined the world it would grow into. What started as a deeply internal, reflective process slowly expanded through collaboration, trust, and shared vision, becoming something far bigger than I ever could have created on my own. This visual holds the emotional core of the song: the quiet intensity, the devotion, the threshold between loneliness and connection. I’m incredibly proud of what we created together and deeply grateful to the team who brought it to life. I hope it finds those who need it, and reminds you that even in the quietest moments, you are never alone. 💜 Production team: ARTIFACT Co-Directors - Philip Bradley & James Matthew Daniel Director of Photography - Philip Bradley Producer / Editor - Hannah Bradley Choreographer / Dancer - Cara Diaz Dancer - Kerime Konur Assistant Camera - Daniel Kouba Gaffer - Chris Libbey HMU - Christine Herbeck / Selena Graham Wardrobe - Mieka Van Der Ploeg Music Production - Emily Belkoff Mix Engineer - Eryck Bry Mastering Engineer - Joe LaPorta Instrumental Contributions - Gwen McFadden Assistant Engineer - Albert Mavraj

Every frame in One Soul is the result of a team moving with intention. The choreography on camera only works when the crew behind it is just as precise. Grateful for the people who bring discipline, craft, and focus to set every time.

This week feels surreal. One Soul is finally out in the world, and the music video drops tomorrow. With so many of you joining the Aura of Embers community this week, it felt like the right moment to re-introduce myself and share the face behind the sound. I’m Emily, the artist and producer behind this project, and I’m really glad to have you here. Creating this song and visual was one of the most meaningful and collaborative experiences of my life. Thank you for being here with me as this world continues to unfold ✨ 📸 @jamesmatthewdaniel
