Singing in Arabic and English\, t he Palestinian-Chilean singer\, songwriter\, and performer instantly encha nts with soul and spirit. After amassing over 100 million global streams a nd earning acclaim from Vogue Middle East\, Cosmopolitan Middle East\, GQ Middle East\, and many more\, she perfects her vision on a series of singl es and her forthcoming 2022 debut for Universal Arabic Music.\n\n"My sound is a combination of my culture and western culture\," she observes. "It's interesting. Even though it's a mixture of both cultures\, it feels smoot h — which is a new sound for our generation."\n\nGrowing up in Nazareth\ , she discovered her calling early on. At just six-years-old\, she often d onned 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\, "Yo u don't even know what I'm capable of doing yet." Soon after\, the budding talent practiced daily with her older brother Feras who played piano and penned songs of his own. She regularly shut down talent shows and even pra cticed for photo shoots. Meanwhile\, she listened to Fairuz on her daily c ommute to school in addition to embracing the music of Etta James\, Aretha Franklin\, Amy Winehouse\, Whitney Houston\, Freddie Mercury\, Lana Del R ey\, The Weeknd\, and Beyoncé.\n\nAt just 15-years-old\, she landed on th e radar of GRAMMY® Award-winning singer\, songwriter\, and MAGIC! frontma n Nasri Atweh [Justin Bieber\, Pitbull\, Chris Brown]. Nasri introduced he r to Lebanese-Canadian star Massari and powerhouse manager\, SAL&\;CO F ounder\, and Universal Arabic Music C.E.O. Wassim "Sal" Slaiby. Following a series of buzzing releases\, she made waves internationally with the sel f-titled Elyanna EP in 2020. It boasted fan favorites such as "Ana Lahale" [with Massari]\, racking up 14.4 million Spotify streams and counting.\n\ n"As an Arab girl who sings Arabic in America\, I feel like I'm breaking b arriers\," she smiles. "To me\, it's a major accomplishment."\n\nNow\, she kicks off her next chapter with the single "Ghareeb Alay." A sultry guita r-laden groove simmers beneath dynamic verses before her voice resounds on the instantly irresistible chorus.\n\n"'Ghareeb Alay' characterizes the s tory of a love song\, but it's much deeper than that\," she reveals. "'Gha reeb Alay' reflects change around us and inside of us. As an immigrant\, a n artist\, and a young female in the beginning of my journey\, everything and everyone feels strange and new. Ghareeb!"\n\nIn the end\, Elyanna is r eady to bring everyone together.\n\nShe assures\, "People don't need to un derstand the language I'm speaking to love my music."
