Music has always been part of my life. As a child, I woke up to the voices of Fairuz or Umm Kulthum echoing from the kitchen, blending with the aroma of morning coffee. As time passed, Western pop entered the picture: Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, Rihanna all shaped my early tastes. Yet I never lost touch with my roots, instead, I became fascinated by the fusion of contemporary pop and traditional folk music, and I still am even today, from my own culture to others around the world.

In my teens, writing became a refuge, first poetry, then lyrics. Though I feared singing publicly, I slowly gained confidence through open mics and covers. Eventually, I taught myself music production, starting from clumsy experiments in Ableton to fully produced tracks. Despite rough beginnings, each project pushed me to grow. And even to this day, I will only work on projects where I can learn or try something new.

Music became more than a hobby, it was a way to process identity, queerness, fear, and ambition. At first, I released under aliases to hide parts of myself I wasn't ready to share. But I realized the contradiction: how could I make honest music while censoring my truth?

That’s when CELESTIKAH was born, a reclamation of voice, identity, and artistic freedom. Through this project, I embraced both the vulnerable writer and the ambitious performer. I began with remixes, hyperpop and dark pop alike, and now, by releasing my own original music, I finally feel in control of my vision.

My voice is no longer hidden in the background. It leads. And while I’m still learning, still evolving, I now know this: one person’s chaos is another person’s symphony. And this one’s mine.
