Elyanna, whose full name is Elian Amer Marjieh, is a Palestinian singer and songwriter. She is also noted as being Palestinian-Chilean. Born on January 22, 2002, she merges Arabic music with Latin rhythms to create an experimental Arab-pop sound, which has gained a global audience.
She was born in Nazareth, Israel, and her musical talents were nurtured by her family, which includes a Palestinian poet mother and a paternal grandmother who is a Chilean pianist. She began singing at age seven and later moved to the United States with her family to pursue her music career.
Elyanna has released two EPs, Elyanna (2020) and Elyanna II (2022), and one studio album, Woledto (2024). She is signed to Universal Arabic Music. She made history in 2023 as the first artist to perform an entire set in Arabic at the Coachella festival, and the first artist to sing in Arabic on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
