Hailed as one of the most promising young artists on the music scene today, ABIR is boldly redefining perceptions of what it means to be an Arab woman in the modern world.

On her sophomore EP Heat released in 2020, ABIR embraces her heritage more fully than ever, infusing her magnetic take on Pop / R&B with elements of the Arab music she grew up on. ABIR describes her most recent music as Arabic / Pop and ultimately shatters countless stereotypes while instilling a thrilling new energy into the pop landscape. From Coachella to Dubai, ABIR has performed all over the world and plans to return to the region and connect with her fans in the Arab world.
