Her music blends Pan-Arab roots, pop with poetic lyrics, electronic music, soul and melodies in which the guitar plays a leading role. She has worked with the filmmakers Elia Suleiman and Jim Jarmusch and has toured the world to present the albums Ya Nass (2013) and Al Jamilat (2017). Her most recent work is the album I remember I forget.
