Palestinian artist Saint Levant set to perform at Coachella

US-based Palestinian artist Marwan Abdelhamid, more known by his nickname Saint Levant, is set to make his debut at the popular Empire Polo Club music festival Coachella.

Known for his viral hits like “I Guess,” “Very Few Friends,” and “Nails,” Saint Levant blends Arabic, English, and French in his music; His 2022 chart-topping album “Very Few Friends” and debut EP “From Gaza, With Love” earned him global recognition fueled by social media platforms, namely TikTok. This diversity of languages is due to the artist’s diverse background. Born in Jerusalem but raised in Gaza and Amman, Saint Levant’s grandparents are Palestinian, Serbian, Algerian, and French.
