“I’ve realised that music grows when you give it a new language. Arabic lyrics and melodies have opened doors to emotions that English could never fully hold. They’ve given my art new colours, new textures, and a deeper honesty. By staying true to the music itself, I’ve found a way to expand not just my sound, but the way I express feeling.”

She added, “When I go through a lot emotionally, whether it be heartbreak, heartache, love or whatever, I am very private about it, and I don’t talk to people about it. However, I do talk to my piano about it, and that’s where all my gossip goes, into my songs, and into my music.”
