Palestinian Jordanian singer songwriter blending classical vocal training with modern R&B, building an audience from Instagram covers into arenas.

Born Zein Sajdi to a Palestinian Jordanian family with roots in Nablus, Zeyne grew up in Amman with formal training in piano and voice, a foundation that shows in the control beneath her genre-hopping style. She started sharing song covers on Instagram during the pandemic, building a following before she had released a single original track.

Her early singles, sung in a mix of English and Arabic, established a sound that borrows the phrasing of soul and R&B without abandoning the ornamentation of Arabic vocal tradition. Later releases like “Asli Ana” pushed further into that blend, pairing candid lyrics about identity and self-acceptance with production built for both regional radio and international playlists.

She has described her work as a refusal to be filed under a single label, Arab or Western, and her rapidly growing catalog backs that claim up.
