Like many Gen Z artists, Lahoud, 19, is social-media-savvy and has been uploading videos of herself singing on the internet since the tender age of 11. Today, over 3,200 people have used her viral sound on <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/me\/articles\/julia-fox-impersonations-tiktok\/\">TikTok<\/a>: an undulating acoustic version of &#8220;I Am Woman&#8221; sung in Arabic.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I feel honoured and grateful that the &#8216;I Am Woman&#8217; cover was one of the\u00a0soundtracks of <a href=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/me\/articles\/female-founded-beauty-brands\/\">International Women\u2019s Day<\/a> on TikTok this year,&#8221; Lahoud shared with <em>Grazia<\/em>. The app approached the singer to perform for the commemoration and she jumped at the chance, sharing that &#8220;it was a beautiful opportunity to raise women\u2019s voices in the region.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@talialahoud\/video\/7069750157046189313\" data-video-id=\"7069750157046189313\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\" style=\"max-width: 605px;min-width: 325px;\" >\n<section> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@talialahoud?refer=embed\"target=\"_blank\" title=\"@talialahoud\"  target=\"_blank\">@talialahoud<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>A little anthem for Women&#8217;s Day<3 Ladies, use this sound and show off the incredible things you can do!\u2764\ufe0f using: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/iamwoman\"title=\"iamwoman\" target=\"_blank\"  target=\"_blank\">#IAmWoman<\/a> \u0623\u0646\u0627_\u0625\u0645\u0631\u0623\u0629<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/I-am-Woman-arabic-version-Talia-Lahoud-7069750147013413634?refer=embed\"target=\"_blank\" title=\"\u266c I am Woman arabic version Talia Lahoud - Talia Lahoud\"  target=\"_blank\">\u266c I am Woman arabic version Talia Lahoud &#8211; Talia Lahoud<\/a> <\/section>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p> <script async src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The empowering lyrics of &#8220;I Am Woman&#8221; are an anthem for International Woman&#8217;s Day, praising the strength, vulnerability, and fearlessness of women. &#8220;The translation helped bring that\u00a0idea into our region in a way that resonated more with the audience,&#8221; said Lahoud. Adding, &#8220;I hope it\u00a0inspired and empowered women all over the Middle East,\u00a0reminding them of how strong they all are,&#8221; which is evidenced by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/I-am-Woman-arabic-version-Talia-Lahoud-7069750147013413634\" target=\"_blank\">videos made using the sound<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;TikTok is a place to express yourself\u00a0freely and show your personality in a unique way.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The kind of virality Lahoud reached, widespread and welcomed, isn&#8217;t uncommon on TikTok. Singers and songwriters have migrated to the app in droves since 2020. Bella Poarch, the &#8220;Build a B*tch&#8221; singer, became popular off of her lip-syncing videos, earning her 88.5 million TikTok followers and a record deal with Warner Records. Similarly, Gayle, the singer of &#8220;Abcdefu&#8221; fame found her fans on TikTok in 2021, which landed her 978K followers and the number one spot on Billboard Global 200 for weeks. What sets Lahoud apart from other creators on the app is her gentle voice, spontaneous acoustic sessions, and performances of original music that&#8217;s often sung in Arabic.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_20867\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-20867\" style=\"width: 707px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-20867 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/me\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2022\/03\/TikTok-Creators-To-Know.jpeg?w=707\" alt=\"\" width=\"707\" height=\"1024\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-20867\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image courtesy of TikTok<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&#8220;TikTok is a place to express yourself\u00a0freely and show your personality in a unique way,&#8221; Lahoud shared.

Lahoud has another original song in the works, which will be sung in Arabic as well. &#8220;I\u2019m constantly\u00a0writing and producing new music and have a lot of unreleased ideas in English,\u00a0French, and Arabic that I will eventually be putting out when the time comes,&#8221; said Lahoud.
