Bosaina

Bosaina has performed with a number of Cairo-based electronic bands, including Wetrobots, ZULI and Quit Together,[3] through her involvement with the groundbreaking Kairo Is Koming collective.[4][5] Her shows with the collective are often noted for their electric energy, The Guardian[6] stating that her "post-punk party girl attitude, which blends magically with head-banging blonde locks, high-kicks, and catsuits to create a dizzying spell".

She is also an independent music producer and solo performer, releasing her first EP of ambient and jazz-influenced music entitled 'NY, Apr–Jul 2013' in 2013.[7] Becoming a producer was the next logical step in her career, and on a layover back from a SXSW performance in Austin, Texas she decided to stay in New York and enroll at production school Dubspot to develop her debut EP New York, April–July 2013.[8]

Her work has often been controversial in her native Egypt, amidst all the unrest following the country's revolution,[9] where she says she's "been thrown off stage for not wearing enough clothes",[10] and lending her voice and support to the LGBT community.

She has toured extensively, including gigs around Egypt, Lebanon,[11] Germany, Austria, Switzerland,[12] Japan[13] and in the United States[14] at the SXSW Festival.

Bosaina ran a Cairo-based fashion school for a number of years,[15] and has worked as a celebrity and editorial stylist internationally. She was also an actress in Touchstone Pictures' first Arab release, The United.[16] Bosaina currently serves as the Art Director/Visual Curator for alternative music space/culture venue VENT.[17]
