Meryem Aboulouafa

Meryem Aboulouafa, born on December 3, 1988, in Casablanca, Morocco, is a versatile artist known for her deep connection with music and fine arts.

Within the intimate confines of her Casablanca bedroom, armed only with a guitar, Meryem gave life into her initial compositions by crafting poetry in English, French and Arabic.

[6][7] After completing her high school education, Meryem enrolled into fine arts at the Ecole Supérieur des Beaux-Arts of Casablanca, ultimately earning her diploma as an interior designer.

Meryem envisions crafting "musical objects" and exploring the possibility of designing innovative instruments “objets musicaux”, thereby exemplifying her interdisciplinary approach to the arts.

[9] Her musical journey took an unexpected turn when "Ya Qalbi" came to the attention of Emmanuel Barron, the head of the French label Animal63 (recognized for artists like The Blaze and Myth Sizer).

Two names are working on the construction or reconstruction of her tracks: Jean-Baptiste de Laubier alias Para One, known for his energetic techno and for his more contemplative soundtracks, inseparable from the cinema of Céline Sciamma.

[12] Her background as an interior designer is evident in the set, sleek as the inside of a Glossier store; it is eerily soothing, almost pretty enough to mask the presence of the dark abyss at its center.
