About Sarah Ali

Sarah Ali is a Dublin-born, Beirut-raised, and part-Egyptian singer-songwriter known for her soulful blend of R&B, jazz, and pop music. She comes from a family with a strong musical heritage, with her paternal great-grandfather Mohammad Fleyfel, who composed "Mawtini" and discovered Fairuz, and her maternal uncle, Omar Chakil, a Franco-Egyptian composer, serving as her collaborator and mentor. Her musical influences range from Alicia Keys and Barbra Streisand to Fairuz, Lianne La Havas, and Beyoncé. Sarah Ali's original songs include "Crystallized Stranger" and "Liberal Friends". In recent endeavors, she made a notable debut by opening for Amr Diab's concert in Beirut in September 2025, where she performed her original songs and an interpretation of Gibran Khalil Gibran's "Aa'ni al-Nay wa Ghanni", previously sung by Fairuz. She currently lives in London and is dedicating herself to her music career.
