Saint Levant, born Marwan Abdelhamid, is a rising trilingual rapper who is loved worldwide. His unique take on modern global music has made him one of the most exciting artists to watch this year. A fusion of Middle Eastern and Western influences seamlessly work together to create his signature sound that transcends cultural boundaries.

Levant was born during the second intifada in Jerusalem and has Palestinian, Algerian, French, and Serbian roots and. He spent his childhood years in the Gaza Strip, but due to complications caused by the civil war that erupted in 2007, he and his family were forced to flee to Jordan. Following a decade in Jordan, he relocated to California to further his education. Presently, he is in the process of completing his Bachelor's degree in International Relations from the University of California, Santa Barbara.

Saint Levant’s music career took off when his song “Very Few Friends' ' became a viral sensation. The original 10 second video of  Levant rapping directly to the camera garnered  over 13M views on TikTok and quickly became a favorite audio for users creating Tiktoks and Reels. On Spotify alone, “Very Few Friends” amassed over 48M streams. 

In the New York Times, Jon Caramanica praises the borderless quality of Saint Levant’s debut ep: 

 “Abdelhamid's debut solo release, the alluring, sophisticated “From Gaza, With Love” EP, released on Monday, finds ways for him to speak to each of these audiences. In the main, it is a document of intense sensual yen in the post-Drake mold, casually hopping across genres, from tender R&B to sleazy rock to hopped-up U.K. garage. But amid all the erotic frankness are jolting shards of family memoir (“My grandmother’s Alzheimer’s tone down when we’re playing piano”) and sprinkles of diasporic longing and aching for permanence: “I don’t want a Grammy, I want a family/Four daughters, one son, why you laughing?”
