For Intibint, music is the path to combining her conflicting identities. She is a British Yemeni singer songwriter, producer and illustrator from London and has been called one of the most unique emerging artists by Scenenoise. Growing up listening to Yemeni music at weddings with her mum and a mixture of RnB hip hop, rap and rock music on her own, her rare musical palette seeps through her distinct sound which is not confined by one single genre. Her journey to music has not been a tradition- al one. Coming from a conservative background, she wasn’t able to pursue music for many years, but this has made her the unique artist she is today, releasing her first self produced and composed track less than one year after she started teaching herself to produce music. The pseudonym ‘Intibint’ stands for the phrase ‘you are a girl’ in Arabic, which is usually meant to undermine and disempower women. Intibint uses it to change the narrative of the Arab woman’s position in society through her art both in the east and west. Intibint’s music has been featured by publications including Bustle, Wordplay magazine, Scene Noise, BBC Arabic Xtra and BBC Radio London.

‘What Are You Willing To Do’, is made up of 5 songs, two of which were completely written and produced by Intibint. The story of the EP follows Intibint’s journey of falling in love with a non-Yemeni, and how she navigated finding acceptance from her own family who forbid relationships outside of marriage and with non-Yemenis. At the same time, it follows the process of the acceptance of her own culture and religion from the non-Yemeni man she was in love with.
