It’s fitting that the Arabic translation of her name is ‘faith’, because Imen Siar has always believed that she was destined to overcome the odds. “My future is already written,” says the 23-year-old singer-songwriter, one of the most exciting artists to emerge in Italy. Born in Milan of Moroccan descent, Imen embodies a sultry vocal mastery that instantly evokes emotion and captivates whether glittering along high notes cloaked in R&B inflections with twinkling clarity or dipping down into a husky growl enveloped in a pop prowess that is all her own.
