Michael Hakim is one of the rising voices shaping the new wave of bilingual Arab R&B and global pop. The Lebanese Palestinian artist, raised in Los Angeles, has built a distinct sonic identity that blends contemporary R&B, pop sensibilities, and Arabic lyricism, bridging heritage and modern diaspora storytelling with emotional depth and cinematic vision. Emerging through genre blending releases and sold out performances, including a packed show at The Peppermint Club, Michael has cultivated a growing international audience drawn to his seamless fusion of English and Levantine Arabic.

Rooted in themes of identity, love, and cultural duality, Michael Hakim’s artistry extends beyond music into visual world building and diaspora storytelling. With a strong digital presence and a clear creative vision, he represents a new era of Arab artists creating without borders, merging West Coast R&B sensibilities with Middle Eastern roots to shape a sound that feels both deeply personal and globally resonant.

With support from Masri.
