Education edit
Jwaydan was born and raised in the United Kingdom. She began to sing and play the piano at an early age and studied at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, graduating as a classical composer, pianist, and cellist. Although initially a pianist/cellist, she gravitated toward classical composition and production and trained to become a composer of Film music. She cites her parents' inclination towards classical music as a pivotal inspiration in her development as a musician.[1] Notable musical influences include composers such as Mozart, Tchaikovsky as well as Enya.[2]

Jwaydan garnered attention when she collaborated with Aly & Fila to release the song "We Control the Sunlight". It was eventually released on Armin van Buuren's compilation album A State of Trance 2011.[3] Her second release was "Untouchable". She wrote a second song with Aly & Fila called "Coming Home", which was released on A State of Trance 2012.[citation needed] In 2013 she released "Until The End" with Moldavian artist Andrew Rayel.
