Bedouine is the moniker of Azniv Korkejian, a singer-songwriter whose melodic flourishes and folk-driven sound encapsulate a sense of timeless storytelling. With a name inspired by the nomadic Bedouin people, her music exudes a wandering spirit and echoes of a bygone era. Born in Aleppo, Syria to Armenian parents, Bedouine's nomadic upbringing saw her living in Saudi Arabia before moving to the United States, where various cultural influences have shaped her artistry. Her self-titled debut album, "Bedouine," marked her as a distinctive voice on the modern folk scene, earning critical acclaim for its delicate, introspective songcraft, and intricate, vintage arrangements.

Following her 2017 debut, Bedouine released "Bird Songs of a Killjoy" in 2019, further expanding her signature sound with lush orchestrations and poetic lyricism that delve into themes of nature, love, and the complexities of human emotion. Her subsequent work, including the introspective "Waysides" in 2021, has continued to charm listeners with its graceful blend of nostalgia and contemporary nuance. With a growing discography that also includes thought-provoking singles like "Thirteen" and "All My Trials," Bedouine maintains an authentic connection to folk music's roots while pushing the genre's boundaries. Her collaborations, such as "When You're Gone" featured in the “Norah Jones is Playing Along” Podcast, serve to highlight her versatility and broad appeal across musical communities.
