The pandemic might have had a devastating impact on the world but it also made way for artists to showcase their talent through social media. As people were forced to lock themselves in their homes, tapping into social media became the most popular pastime. This opened a world of opportunities for budding artists as audiences went looking on various digital platforms. Yazan Alsharif, a rising star in the music industry is one such artist who took this opportunity to scale his career.
Yazan Alsharif was always passionate about music. He was intrigued by the sounds and beats from different genres of different eras. At the age of 13, he composed his first tune which was a mix of R&B and rap. At that time, he was not aware of the power of social media so could not showcase it to earn an audience. Although his first composition was limited to his close circle of friends and family, it became his biggest motivation to pursue music as a career.
He began to explore the possibilities of social media platforms and even launched his own YouTube channel titled “Yaz Sounds”. He would recreate popular songs with his own composition and upload them on different social media platforms including YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram. In early 2020, one of his recreated compositions of the famous track “When Doves Cry” went viral on social media. Before he knew it, the composition earned millions of views making him an overnight star.
From then on, Yazan never looked back. What followed was a series of hit singles from the artist that were setting new trends in the music industry. Yazan loves to play with genres and never settles by focusing on one. His compositions often have a dominant genre that mingles with subtle undertones of another one. The music he creates becomes soul-soothing yet electrifying in every way.
Since 2020, Yazan has released 4 original singles and each of them has showcased his unique talent as a talented music artist. His first song “Let Me Live Once More” is a deft blend of rap and hip-hop that instantly grabbed the attention of millions of music enthusiasts. The 25-year-old artist poured his heart out to pen the blazing lyrics for this song. It highlighted his failures and persistence and his final realization that success never comes without sacrifices. The message in the song resonated with the audiences helping Yazan connect with them on a deeper level.
“Live for Your Dreams” is a hard-hitting rap that combines softer notes of country music to create a unique and mesmerizing sound. The lyrics highlight the unfulfilled dreams of people who never really tried to accomplish them. They regret it deep inside yet pretend to be happy in their lives. Through this song, Yazan connected with his fans as most people felt a relationship with its message.
Yazan’s journey has just started in the music industry and he has already made himself distinguished through his unique style. The artist is now just 25 and feels this is just the beginning for him as he is planning to create more unconventional compositions in the future.
