Amanda Abizaid is driven by a singular ambition: to foster peace and connection through the universal language of song. “I believe in world peace, and I want everybody to feel welcomed and embraced when they hear me sing,” she says. “We all have more in common than we think. We want good lives and we want our children to be safe – that’s true no matter where you live.” An award-winning singer-songwriter, flautist, pianist and guitarist, Abizaid has defined her career through a unique "indie-pop meets global crossover" sound, often woven with the spellbinding melodies of her Lebanese heritage. While her lyrics frequently navigate heart-wrenching subjects, they never sermonize. Instead, she anchors her messages in rich grooves, irresistible hooks and music that is joyous – often intensely so – all centered around an incandescent voice that remains her most dynamic and communicative instrument. Abizaid’s striking soprano voice was never destined to remain a secret.
