Saint Levant

Artist-in-Residence

Marwan Abdelhamid, AKA Saint Levant, was born in Jerusalem to a French-Algerian mother and Serbian-Palestinian father. Drawing inspiration from his origins with influences that combine traditional Arabic music, R&B, and hip-hop, the young artist embraces the plurality of his own cultural heritage, the Arab community worldwide, and the Palestinian struggle abroad. His songs – written in Arabic, English, and French – have captivated a global audience with their international appeal.
