Faia Younan

Syrian-born and Sweden-raised singer, songwriter, and actress Faia has emerged as one of the Arab world’s most distinctive young voices. After studying social sciences at the University of Glasgow, she began her musical career in 2015 and has since released three acclaimed albums and numerous singles, performing to sold-out audiences across the globe. In her work, Faia fuses poetic lyrics—often in classical Arabic—with modern arrangements and traditional oriental instruments, creating a sound that feels both contemporary and deeply rooted in heritage. This unique artistic language has earned her record-breaking success in some of the world’s most renowned and historic theatres, where her performances are praised for their emotional power and authenticity. By reviving classical poetry within fresh, cinematic soundscapes, Faia bridges East and West, inviting international audiences to experience the richness of Arab culture through a modern lens and positioning herself as a compelling cultural ambassador for a new generation.
