About this episode

Eliz Murad was born in France to two Lebanese parents. She grew up with a dual culture which has enriched her imagination since childhood. While Fayrouz, Asmahan, Majda El Roumi echoed from his mother's radio, Eliz discovered Tina Turner and Nirvana. From then on she bought a bass guitar and learned music on her own. Very early on, she wanted to mix the arabic language with music, rock energy and create a bridge between all this music genres and universes that are one in her head. After ten years as Teleferik's lead singer and bass player, Eliz  traded her bass for her guitar. She began her solo career as an author, composer and singer.

APOCALYPSNA bio:

While Eliz was starting a new female rock duo project as a singer and bassist. The global corona pandemic cut her off from this project. Frustration and the urge to create drove her to write solo songs. She swapped her bass for her guitar. she then began to play it every day.

APOCALYPSNA is born.
