Yohani x PopArabia Spotlight Abu Dhabi: Artist Showcase and Writing Camp

A cross-regional creative hub comes alive as Yohani joins PopArabia’s artist showcase and songwriting camp in the UAE capital

Yohani partners with PopArabia this month, joining an artist showcase and a multi-day songwriting camp hosted in Abu Dhabi. The collaboration aligns her with one of the MENA region’s leading music publishers and licensing firms — a move that blends South Asian identity with Middle Eastern creative networks.

The songwriting camp offers a platform for artists, songwriters, and producers from across Asia, the Gulf, and beyond to co-create, share ideas, and experiment with cross-cultural fusion. For Yohani, this becomes an opportunity to explore new sounds and languages with regional peers under PopArabia’s industry-standard infrastructure.

As part of the showcase, she performs alongside emerging and established regional talent, giving attendees a preview of what such global collaboration can yield when South Asian pop meets Middle Eastern rhythms and ideas. The event is designed to spotlight not just individual artistry, but shared creative vision across borders.

For PopArabia, the collaboration signals their commitment to expanding beyond Arabic-language music and embracing diverse voices from across Asia. For Yohani, it marks yet another expansion of her global creative footprint — connecting Sri Lankan pop sensibility with wider MENA networks.

A creative gathering. A global network. A new chapter in collaboration and cultural exchange.

A moment where songwriting, culture, and regional connection find a shared rhythm in Abu Dhabi.
