SABRI
Growing up in Amsterdam, raised by a Moroccan father and Algerian mother, SABRI was captivated by R&B, soul, and hip-hop from an early age. At just 4 years old, she was already being influenced by iconic female artists like Lauryn Hill, Aaliyah, and Mary J. Blige, whose powerful voices inspired her to begin writing her own songs and later pursue a music career.
In recent years, SABRI has begun making a name for herself in the industry, experimenting with sounds spanning pop, house, Afrobeats, and R&B; her unmistakable voice leaving an impression on listeners worldwide. Notable collaborators throughout her burgeoning career include multi-disciplinary artist Full Crate whom she teamed up for their 2021 track “Tell My Why,” as well as GRAMMY-nominated singer/rapper Yung Bleu on “Reading The Room” and Nigerian hip-hop icon Olamide on “Knockout,” taken from his 2024 album “Ikigai.”
In 2022, SABRI released her debut EP “Actually, I Can.”, a declaration of strength and self-awakening on which she was able to build a cohesive body of work, highlighting her inimitable voice and stellar songwriting ability. Earlier this year, SABRI made her COLORS debut, with a heart-wrenching performance of her track “Sold Myself For Love,” exposing her to an increasingly growing audience of dedicated fans.
Listen to SABRI’s “What I Feel Now” EP
“What I Feel Now” is a bold declaration of emotional honesty from an artist who is set to make her mark within the world of R&B and soul. In bearing her emotions and standing in her truth, SABRI encourages listeners to do the same, creating space for all who seek deeper connection with themselves.
Speaking on the EP, SABRI shares, “‘What I Feel Now’ isn’t just an EP title, it’s a declaration. It’s me saying: I feel it, I name it, I move with it. It’s about showing up fully in your own emotional truth and owning every feeling without apology. Each song is a facet of that experience, from desire, release, clarity, self-worth, to the power of being present. Some songs are tender and some raw, but all of them are honest. This body of work is me stepping into myself and inviting listeners to do the same.”
