WHAT IT IS: Combining pop and R&B while singing in Arabic, Elyanna began her musical journey at the tender age of 15 when she came to the attention of Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Nasri Atweh, who subsequently introduced her to Lebanese-Canadian star Massari and SALXCO Founder/Universal Arabic Music CEO Wassim “Sal” Slaiby. After releasing a series of buzzing single, the Palestinian-Chilean artist-songwriter made waves with her self-titled EP, Elyanna, in 2020—which boasted fan favorite, “Ana Lahale” w/Massari (18.3m+ Spotify streams). In 2022, she continued to perfect her vision on her major label debut, Elyanna 2, led by her single, “Ghareeb Alay.” With her third EP, Elyanna 3, due later this year, Elyanna will be the first Arabic singer ever to perform at Coachella later this month.
