Norhan spent eight years on clarinet, got an engineering degree from the University of Illinois, took a job at a structural firm — and then quit to write songs. She cut her teeth posting bilingual comedy on TikTok, grew a following past 70k, then started dropping tracks that blended the two languages her life already lived in. Rolling Stone called it "Arabizi." She calls it what she sounds like.

Her 2024 singles "Leh (ليش)" and "Yakhsara" got attention. "I'D RATHER LOVE" — and the remix with Michael Hakim — went viral in 2025 and hasn't really stopped. Expect a set that slides between Arabic and English without asking permission, and a crowd that knows every line of both.
