Born in Nazareth, her musical talents were nurtured by her family, with early influences including iconic figures like Julio Iglesias[3] and Sabah Fakhri,[4] Elyanna's career took a significant turn when she was discovered at age 15 by Grammy-winner Nasri Atweh.

In 2017, at the age of 15, she and her family moved to San Diego, California (eventually settling in Los Angeles) to further pursue her musical career after coming across Wassim "Sal" Slaiby on TV.

[12] After arriving in the United States, she began posting covers on her Instagram, where she garnered a following of around 300,000 users,[13] and grabbing the attention of musician and producer Nasri Atweh.

Elyanna draws inspiration from jazz and blues alongside many household names for families in the Middle East: Dalida, Fairuz, Sabah Fakhri, Abd El Halim Hafez.

The collection features the single "Al Kawn Janni Maak" (an Arabic version of "La Vie en rose").

Its music video was directed by Caroline "Chuck" Grant, the sister of Lana Del Rey, who ultimately got involved in the project by styling Elyanna.

[19] She also performed at the El Gouna Film Festival and paid tribute to her homeland of Palestine with her single "Olive Branch (غصن زيتون)".

[21] Boutayna Chokrane praised the record on her review for Pitchfork, stating that it "plays with Arab pop, R&B, EDM, and jazz to express the nuances of love, loss, and longing".
