I recently moved to London to pursue my studies (Uni), as well as pursue my passion/career. I still have not performed in London, but am very excited to discover the music scene here. In the summer of 2022, I opened for John Legend in Egypt (North Coast), it was one of the most magical experiences of my life.
I try to Build bridges as a third culture kid, and I have been singing since I was 5.
Born in Dublin, raised in Beirut, and part Egyptian, I was born to bring
people together through my creative talents/ my voice.
Being the niece of a French top-charting pop-soul singer, I've been drenched in soul, jazz, RnB and pop music from my first hours on this planet. My great-grandfather discovered Lebanese music legend Fairuz. It's not that I am not my own person or that lineage defines who you are, but in my case, there are interesting resonances.

Influences
My influences range from Alicia Keys and Barbra Streisand to Lianne La Havas and Beyoncé.
As a singer/songwriter, I chose for my first records British Jamaican
producer Anthony Marshall (Craig David, Stormzy, Nelly Furtado, Britney Spears) under the executive supervision of British producer Denis Ingoldsby (Mariah Carey, Toni Braxton, Eternal, Tatu..). I also chose to keep it in the family, sharing writing credits with my uncle Omar Chakil (Warner France) on Fly With Me (unreleased song), a record that samples Fairuz and references my Lebanese roots.
On “Crystallized Stranger”, my first online release, you can hear my soprano
taking a soulful journey through the doubts and fragilities of finding love.
“We Can’t Get It On” (unreleased song) is a record that showcases my love for radio-friendly Dance RnB.
