Amira Jazeera does it all: she writes, records, mixes, sings, even creates her own promos. Once quarantine hit, this self-proclaimed “Arab pop princess” decided to take even more of her career into her own hands and build a home studio in her bedroom—and as her roommate, I got to see the magic happen firsthand. Being in quarantine with a musician who’s actively creating new material can be a noisy nightmare, especially if you don’t care for their style. But for me, listening to Jazeera’s work in progress has been an inspiring experience, and the music I’ve overheard has quickly turned me into one of her biggest fans.
