Many of us are pretty good at feeling sorry for someone when they're down. We usually cheer for the underdog. But maybe it's the people at the peak of their success who might need us the most. Xriss shares both her beautiful voice and complicated experience with success on our stage. Xriss is a Lebanese-American singer-songwriter, entertainer and activist. After winning a multitude of global singing competitions she began touring the MENA region as the lead singer of 8è Art Entertainment’s “X band". She became a household name after reaching the quarterfinals in the first season of The Voice Arabia in 2012, landing her a management deal with musical tycoons like Quincy Jones, Will.I.Am and Timbaland. This lead her to signing even more management, recording and production contracts in the US, Switzerland and the UK consecutively. Locally known for covering Michael Jackson's “Care About Us” dedicated to the garbage sanitation crisis in Lebanon, Xriss is currently in the process of finalizing her new single and music video “Save Me” and plans on gradually releasing the rest of her music in 2019.
