Zeina

Dalou3a Zeina is taking her Dalou3a world global. Born in Brooklyn and raised in Montreal, the Lebanese-Egyptian singer and songwriter brings her love of early-2000s R&B into pop that moves easily between English, French and Arabic. You hear it in the Arabic expressions, the melodies and the ease with which she switches languages to get her point across. At the heart of it is “Dalou3a”: Zeina writes about desire with a sense of humour and the confidence to say exactly what she wants. That personality carries into her fashion and videos. Zeina has built an audience across North America, Europe and the Middle East. “Nasty” was an early breakout, while “Hooked” entered the Billboard Canadian Hot 100. “Jananto” caught on across Greek and Middle Eastern airwaves, with “Dalou3a” and “Ya Hala” bringing listeners further into her sound. She has earned JUNO nominations for Breakthrough Artist or Group of the Year and Contemporary R&B Recording of the Year, alongside recognition from industry heavyweights. For the girls who grew up with another language at home and R&B in their headphones, there’s something familiar about Zeina. She’s taking that experience onto an international pop stage, with all of its character intact.
