Marwan Abdelhamid, known professionally as Saint Levant, was born in Jerusalem during the second Intifada to a French-Algerian mother and a Serbian-Palestinian father. He spent seven formative years growing up in Gaza, an experience that would later inspire his debut EP, From Gaza, With Love.

Drawing inspiration from his origins with influences that combine traditional Arabic music, R&B and hip-hop, Saint Levant embraces the plurality of his own cultural heritage, the Arab community worldwide and the Palestinian struggle abroad. His songs – written in Arabic, English and French – have captivated a global audience with their international appeal. This foundation culminated in DEIRA, his debut album – a formative project that laid the emotional and sonic groundwork for Saint Levant’s wider artistic world. 


Released on Valentine’s Day, his Love Letters EP marked a defining chapter in his artistic evolution. Each song represents an ode to different aspects of his world – triumphant, reflective, hopeful, and heartfelt. Love Letters weds two discs: An A side that expresses its love through Arab & North African styles; and a B side that adopts a western 80’s funk approach, with Saint Levant’s take on contemporary pop.

Following the success of Love Letters, Saint Levant expanded the project with Love Letters (Deluxe), adding new material with features from Fares Sokar, NORDO and Babylone. The deluxe edition further cements his position as a generational, boundary-crossing artist whose work moves fluidly between cultures, geographies, and genres – without compromise.
