Shébani

Iraqi-born and raised in the UAE, Shébani will be performing from 6-7pm, 30 January on the main stage during Quoz Arts Fest.

Always gravitated towards expressing her authentic self in music rather than word, Shébani brings forth hidden emotions in just one melodic line. Raised in a creative family yet suppressed by the social stigmas of where she was raised, it wasn’t until 2015 that the Alternative R&B singer-songwriter officially started her music career through YouTube covers and open-mic performances. In 2016, Shébani penned her debut official release; a 6-track EP titled ‘Alter Ego’. Shortly thereafter, her career quickly flourished, graduating from The British and Irish Modern Music Institute in 2017, with that same year opening for Pusha T at Sole DXB in December 2017.

Shébani continues to inspire with her music, connecting with fans worldwide with her uninterrupted authenticity and vocal prowess, as well as sparking keen interest and support from high-profile artists, opening for the like of Jorja Smith and Liam Payne in 2019, performing at The EXPO 2020 in Dubai, and just recently opening for Khalid at Formula 1 Abu Dhabi in December 2021.
