Singing in Arabic and English\, the Palesti nian-Chilean singer\, songwriter\, and performer instantly enchants with s oul and spirit. After amassing over 100 million global streams and earning acclaim from Vogue Middle East\, Cosmopolitan Middle East\, GQ Middle Eas t\, and many more\, she perfects her vision on a series of singles and her forthcoming 2022 debut for Universal Arabic Music.\n\n"My sound is a comb ination of my culture and western culture\," she observes. "It's interesti ng. Even though it's a mixture of both cultures\, it feels smooth — whic h is a new sound for our generation."\n\nGrowing up in Nazareth\, she disc overed her calling early on. At just six-years-old\, she often donned her mom's heels and black coat and performed in front of the mirror. One day\, her mother and siblings caught her to which she responded\, "You don't ev en know what I'm capable of doing yet." Soon after\, the budding talent pr acticed daily with her older brother Feras who played piano and penned son gs of his own. She regularly shut down talent shows and even practiced for photo shoots. Meanwhile\, she listened to Fairuz on her daily commute to school in addition to embracing the music of Etta James\, Aretha Franklin\ , Amy Winehouse\, Whitney Houston\, Freddie Mercury\, Lana Del Rey\, The W eeknd\, and Beyoncé.\n\nAt just 15-years-old\, she landed on the radar of GRAMMY® Award-winning singer\, songwriter\, and MAGIC! frontman Nasri At weh [Justin Bieber\, Pitbull\, Chris Brown]. Nasri introduced her to Leban ese-Canadian star Massari and powerhouse manager\, SAL&\;CO Founder\, a nd Universal Arabic Music C.E.O. Wassim "Sal" Slaiby. Following a series o f buzzing releases\, she made waves internationally with the self-titled E lyanna EP in 2020. It boasted fan favorites such as "Ana Lahale" [with Mas sari]\, racking up 14.4 million Spotify streams and counting.\n\n"As an Ar ab girl who sings Arabic in America\, I feel like I'm breaking barriers\," she smiles. "To me\, it's a major accomplishment."\n\nNow\, she kicks off her next chapter with the single "Ghareeb Alay." A sultry guitar-laden gr oove simmers beneath dynamic verses before her voice resounds on the insta ntly irresistible chorus.\n\n"'Ghareeb Alay' characterizes the story of a love song\, but it's much deeper than that\," she reveals. "'Ghareeb Alay' reflects change around us and inside of us. As an immigrant\, an artist\, and a young female in the beginning of my journey\, everything and everyo ne feels strange and new. Ghareeb!"\n\nIn the end\, Elyanna is ready to br ing everyone together.\n\nShe assures\, "People don't need to understand t he language I'm speaking to love my music ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.arabamerica.com/wp-content/uploads/2 024/01/The-Elyanna-Tour-Screen-Shot-2024-01-22-at-11.55.10-AM.png LOCATION:The Studio at the Factory\, 2727 Canton Street\, Dallas\, TX\, 752 26\, United States GEO:32.78249;-96.783264 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=2727 Canton Street\, Dallas \, TX\, 75226\, United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=The Studio at the Factory:geo:32.78249,-96.783264 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/Detroit X-LIC-LOCATION:America/Detroit BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20231105T010000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0400 TZOFFSETTO:-0500 TZNAME:EST END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
