Wafia

Wafia doesn’t just sing—she haunts. The Syrian-Iraqi-Dutch Australian artist merges vulnerability with defiance, crafting celestial alt-pop that sounds like both a sanctuary and a storm. Her voice cuts through synth-laced production like silk over static, balancing soft power with lyrical precision.
Trained in biomedical science, Wafia defied expectation to follow her voice — one that now speaks for those who live between cultures, identities, and genres. With roots stretching from the Middle East to Europe, grounded in Brisbane and carried across the world, she’s built a reputation for honest storytelling that resonates with outsiders, dreamers, and quiet rebels.
A billion streams later, Wafia enters a new era: one of creative liberation, channeling feeling and meaning into a universe that feels both deeply personal and endlessly expansive.
