Loulwa Al-Sharif, a jazz singer from Saudi Arabia, is captivating audiences across the Kingdom with her mesmerizing voice.

Loulwa Al-Sharif: Saudi singer finds her passion on stage, from dancing to jazz

  • After the sudden loss of her father to a heart attack at 24, Al-Sharif found solace in singing, using it as a way to sing away her sorrow
  • Al-Sharif believes that singing heals her soul, and is an expression of feelings and pain — and more expressive than playing an instrument
