Sheyma

Sheyma is a boundary-pushing vocalist, performer, and multidisciplinary artist whose work bridges the sacred and the club, the traditional and the futuristic, the Arab and the queer. Rooted in the diverse sonic landscapes of Morocco, her music draws from Gnawa, Chaabi, and Arabic alternative traditions, infused with contemporary electronic textures.

Her vocal style remains deeply connected to the rich traditions of Arabic music, yet she takes an unconventional approach, breaking away from its rigid structures to experiment with pop, folk, and club sounds.Now based in Amsterdam, Sheyma is crafting a unique artistic language that merges North African heritage with the radical energy of underground nightlife, offering an experience that is both deeply intimate and unapologetically defiant.
