MAYSSA KARAA - LEBANON. Born in 1989, near the close of a 15-year conflict in Lebanon, Mayssa was not supposed to become a musician. She was a good student, but recognizing her artistic talent, her parents encouraged her to pursue a musical education at the Conservatory of Beirut, where she studied piano, music theory and vocal training. In the following years Mayssa’s voice matured and became a staggering powerful instrument. So began the rise of one of the most remarkable young singers out of the Arab world today.
In 2013 Mayssa recorded a new Arabic adaptation of the Jefferson Airplaine’s White Rabbit. The Los Angeles Times wrote that this version ‘outdoes the original.’ This unique performance was created for the film American Hustle which won three Golden Globe awards and was nominated ten times for an Academy Award. The song soon became the most talked about tune on the American Hustle Album. After this success Lebanon’s Cultural Minister Gaby Layoun honored Mayssa Karaa a national cultural award at the American Hustle premiere held in Beirut, Lebanon. “She has created a significant artistic bridge between our culture and audiences around the world. She has made an impact both in Hollywood and as a role model for young women here and abroad”, said Layoun. “In a world filled with sad days, this is one that brings us great joy and pride for Lebanon.”
