Elyanna Performed with Coldplay at Glastonbury Earlier This Year
In 2023 she made history by becoming the first artist to perform a full set entirely in Arabic at Coachella. Her appearance at the iconic music festival marked her global debut, while she performed live renditions from her two self-titled EPs, as well as an Arabic version of the classic La Vie En Rose.
She also recently made her television debut on the The Late Show With Stephen Colbert. Performing a medley of hits from her debut album, Woledto, including Callin’ U (Tamally Maak), and Mama Eh, the singer captivated the audience wearing an all-white lace ensemble and co-ordinating keffiyeh headscarf. She made headlines by being the first artist to perform a song entirely in Arabic on the show.
The artist and Harper’s Bazaar Qatar cover star spoke candidly about how her heritage has influenced her music.
“I’m inspired by my Palestinian-Chilean background as well as the American culture that I got to discover growing up in Los Angeles,” she said in her cover story for Harper’s Bazaar Qatar.
“This blend of cultures broadened my horizons. I was inspired by a lot of genres, jazz in particular. That was all I would sing as a young girl. So I believe who I am today is a result of the music I sang and listened to in my childhood. When I moved to the US, I just connected with Arabic music and my culture so much, it gave me another perspective on the type of music I want to create. Both Western and Eastern music are inherent to me and they just come naturally,” she shared.
Elyanna was born and raised in her hometown of Nazareth, and frequently took family trips to Viña del Mar in Chile. She grew up in Los Angeles.
