Elyanna

Elyanna might be based in Los Angeles, but the young Palestinian-Chilean singer has successfully secured herself a spot among the Arab world’s rising stars.

At just 22-years old, she’s snagged the nickname of ‘Arab Rihanna’, thanks to her sultry voice that resembles the Barbadian superstar. But there’s one thing that sets her apart; despite settling roots in the US, Elyanna mostly sings in Arabic, bridging the miles that separate her from her birthplace, Nazareth.

With an astonishing ability to vary her vocals from song to song, from deep and soulful to soft and whispery, she grabbed the attention of Lebanese singer Massari. The half-Chilean singer went on to collaborate with him in her latest track ‘Ana Lahali’. She has also collaborated with Jordanian TikTok star Issam Alnajjar on the track ‘Hada Ghareeb’.
