From Riyadh to Los Angeles, in the pursuit of musical dreams
:: Tamtam is understandably excited. The 24-year-old Saudi singer has just dropped her latest song, ‘Solidarity’, and coincidentally, it became the same day King Salman issued a historic royal decree granting driving licenses for women as of next June.
Taking to Instagram, she posted: “‘Time to stand together like once before, and this time we’ll stop the war’. I’m so happy that this song is out on the same day women are allowed to drive in Saudi! Subhan’Allah!
“To moving forward, to standing up for one another, to SOLIDARITY.”
The Riyadh-born artist is certainly no stranger to the struggles many women encounter in the Middle East. After all, she hails from a country where it is relatively uncommon to pursue a career in music.
But as a teenager, Tamtam moved to California to begin working on her dream, and it’s looking good for her. She’s already released a few music videos and her new EP, ‘Identify Myself’ came out this year, available on various music streaming services such as Spotify, Apple Music and Anghami.
