HEGAZY

HEGAZY is a New-York–based duo featuring Egyptian-Italian twin sisters Leila and Omnia Hegazy. After parallel careers as solo artists, Leila, a vocally-driven R&B singer and Omnia, an outspoken pop-rock artist, blend together in a genre-bending pop/soul/rock vibe similar to the likes of Lianne La Havas, Emily King, Gary Clark Jr., and Alabama Shakes. The results: infectious pop melodies, soulful vocal harmonies, and heartfelt, unapologetic lyrics.

To date, HEGAZY has been featured by publications such as Rolling Stone and Pop Matters, and performed at venerated local and international venues, including NYC's Lincoln Center and the United Nations. The sisters’ band name is an ode to their late father, and his wish that they join forces musically, as well as the Egyptian heritage that shaped them. Leila and Omnia founded the band shortly after his passing in 2015, while sharing an apartment and writing songs together post-college.

The Hegazy sisters' most recent single/music video is titled "Do You Want Me Now", a moody, feminist banger and edgy departure from their R&B-leaning style. Previous work includes "Oil and Water”, a groovy, pop/atmospheric break-up anthem, and "Maybe If We Try", a soulful, jazzy ode to hoping things will work out in the end.

HEGAZY is currently working on new music and hopes you get to hear it soon! Stay tuned.
