Chébli

**Chébli** is a French-Algerian singer-songwriter and producer whose smooth, genre-blending sound merges North African influences with modern pop and R&B. Based between Paris and Lyon, he’s carved out a space in France’s alt-pop scene with tracks like "Heza" and "Promesses," which layer soulful vocals over hypnotic beats and nods to his Algerian heritage (even his stage name, derived from "Chebli," tips a hat to his roots). His music often weaves between French and Arabic lyrics, blending traditional instruments like the oud with sleek electronic production. Recent releases like "Jua" and "Swahili Songs" highlight his knack for crafting atmospheric, emotionally charged bops that explore themes of love, identity, and cultural duality. While keeping a relatively low profile, Chébli has collaborated with artists like Aya Nakamura and Ichon, quietly becoming a standout voice in France’s multicultural music landscape.
