Sariyah Idan

Sariyah Idan is a New York bred and New Orleans based independent singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, poet, dancer, and educator. Jazz and folk trained, hip-hop educated, and influenced by both Latinx/Caribbean sounds and her Jewish roots, she has an "ability to seamlessly combine a wide variety of disparate styles and sonics into a memorable sound all her own," (Tinnitist). She views honoring the sounds of both influences and ancestors as a form of cultural activism while her lyricism is hailed as "powerful, soulful, spirited songs filled with stories of struggle, love and social justice" (Fusicology).

Sariyah's debut LP “Breaking Shadows” addressed a woman's experience navigating toxic patriarchy and recorded in Los Angeles, Berlin, and Lisbon. Her follow-up album to that content, and first project recorded in New Orleans, will releases in fall 2023. It's an album about healing and taking risks, is a continued collaboration with Berlin based engineer/co-producer Andy Schlegel, and is titled "Glitter & Blood".

Sariyah has shared stages with legends Pete Seeger, Lee “Scratch” Perry, and Yusef Lateef. As a regular street performer in New Orleans she is known among locals as “the most hauntingly beautiful voice of New Orleans’ streets.”
