I am Ramin Rezai, interviewer, presenter, and creative. My goal is always the same: to get to know guests in a relaxed and honest way and show who they really are, beyond the image often portrayed in the media. With a down-to-earth interview style, I create conversations in which listeners and viewers get an authentic picture of the person behind the celebrity.

My own show: 'Ramin in conversation with'

In season 1 of my own show, *Ramin in gesprek met*, I recorded new episodes weekly via Clubhouse. In the show, I spoke with a wide range of guests from the media, music, and politics, including Sylvana Simons, Trobi, Jeroen Pauw, Akwasi, Henk Krol, Roland Kahn, Esmée Denters, Laurens Dassen, and Baas B.

In season 2, the show made the switch from Clubhouse to Spotify and YouTube, allowing it to reach a larger audience. In this season, I hosted guests including Tisjeboy Jay, Peter Schouten, Jan Roos, Juvat Westendorp, Hans Klok, Douwe Bob, and Art Rooijakkers.

Current work at AXEDLife

I currently work at AXED as an interviewer, presenter, and creative for the short-form entertainment channel AXEDLife on Snapchat, TikTok, and Instagram. Within one year, the channel grew to 70 million views; the counter now stands at over 100 million views, and AXEDLife has built a large and active reach of more than 320,000 followers.

Together with a colleague, I developed AXEDLife into an established entertainment format in which I interview Dutch celebrities, influencers, and reality stars about current events and take them along in lighthearted challenges and entertainment formats. For this, I developed, among other things, my own interview format and the recurring series 'Brandende Vragen' (Burning Questions).

In my role, I am responsible for the entire creative and production process of AXEDLife, including:

• Devising content formats and creative concepts
• Preparing and conducting interviews
• Presenting and filming content during press days, premieres, red carpets, and events
• Maintaining contact with the press, management, and guests
• Planning and coordinating filming days
• Assisting with editing, social content, and captions
• Strategic thinking regarding viral content and growth on social media

For AXEDLife, I interviewed Guus Meeuwis, Nikkie de Jager, and Carlo Boszhard, among others. Additionally, I collaborated with parties such as Prime Video, Videoland, MTV Nederland, Talpa Network, Splendid Film, and Independent Films on content and promotional campaigns surrounding releases and entertainment projects.

Through my conversations with Ramin, I have built an authentic interview style and valuable experience. At AXEDLife, I am expanding this further by combining entertainment, interviews, and online formats with a large reach on social media.
